Choosing Sustainable Materials
To reach our sustainability goals, we’ve set high ambitions for reducing waste and improving recycling. Our focus on minimizing waste and finding new ways to reuse materials is an important part of both our environmental work and staying competitive.

Our long-term goals
To reach our sustainability goals, we’ve need to raise our material reuse and recycling rate to 85%. Our focus on minimizing waste and finding new ways to reuse materials is an important part of both our environmental work and staying competitive.
Together, we aim to create long-lasting products that use resources wisely and support a more sustainable future.
To reach our 2030 targets we must

Increase reuse and recycling
Raise our material reuse and recycling rate to 85%
Smarter packaging
Ensure that 80% of our product packaging is recyclable, reusable, or compostable
Cut residual waste
Reduce leftover waste from production by 55% – from 13 grams to 5.8 grams per unit
Monitor progress
Track how much waste is generated for each product unit every month
Work together
Strengthen cooperation with suppliers and waste management partners
Our approach
As a food producer, we understand our responsibility in supporting a more circular economy. Through the Plastics Pledge, Drytech is committed to optimizing our packaging design to minimize unnecessary plastic, increasing the use of recycled materials where feasible, and ensuring that all packaging is designed to be recyclable. We actively collaborate with our suppliers and partners to enhance sustainability across the entire value chain and report on our progress annually. This initiative is part of our broader environmental and climate strategy to lower our footprint and help shape a more environmental friendly food industry.
To support these efforts, we’ve launched collaborative projects with our suppliers focused on developing recyclable pouches that align with our environmental objectives.

Impact so far
Not all of the planned measures were completed in 2024, which means we haven’t yet reduced the amount of residual waste going to energy recovery incineration.
In 2024, our sorting rate stood at 43%. Our goal is 85% by 2030, so there’s still a long way to go. Currently, each pouch generates around 12 grams of residual waste—well above our target of 1.2 grams per unit.
As we begin 2025, we’re bringing a renewed sense of focus. A new agreement with the waste management company Remiks will start in June 2025, allowing us to sort and recycle more types of plastic.

Smarter packaging
Ongoing project that aim to replace our current packaging solution with a new recyclable pouch.
Cut residual waste
Currently, each pouch generates around 12 grams of residual waste—well above our target of 5.8 grams per unit.
Monitor progress
We track results and report regularly to stay aligned with our goals.

Key steps moving forward
Key steps moving forward include sorting label rolls as paper and separating hard plastics for recycling. The use of contaminated soft plastic in production is also under review, with efforts focused on identifying cleaning methods that could make it recyclable and keep it within the circular system.
