Special contract terms

Plastic packaging for juice and other beverage containers and/or meat trays used within the scope of the contract shall consist, on average, of at least 30 percent by weight recycled PCR plastic (r-PET). The calculation can be made according to the mass balance principle¹ during a defined period of time by means of the packaging supplier's monitoring and reporting.

Upon request, the supplier shall present the calculation of the proportion of recycled plastic and demonstrate that the recycled raw material consists of PCR plastic.

¹Mass balance can be applied using different methods that measure product substitution and include traceability back to production and raw material when transitioning to recycled and renewable raw materials. Additional information on different mass balance methods.
