Sustainable competitive advantage: by working with Interzero, you improve your ecological footprint and strengthen your bond with your customers. We show you the amount of primary raw materials and greenhouse gases you have saved with us in your individual “resources SAVED” certificate.

Transparency is not only a core value for us, it is also highly valued by our customers and partners. As a longterm partner, the Bag Company is committed to a successful cooperation. “Interzero’s ‘resources SAVED’ certification reflects our contribution to climate protection,” says Roland Gartner, Managing Director of The Bag Company, a specialist and market leader in point-of-sale packaging that has been producing and delivering all packaging in a climate-neutral way since 2017. “It is an important piece of the puzzle that contributes to the success of our business activities and is therefore an essential part of our sustainability documentation.”

As full capture of a large number of different products leads to a disproportionate amount of work and costs, we have worked with Interzero in Austria to develop a random sampling method that allows companies to calculate the weight of packaging placed on the market in a simplified way. In Austria, the method has been approved by the competent Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and the Environment.

The random sampling method assesses the total packaging placed on the market, based on a set number and schedule of random samples according to the inspection period (annual or quarterly). The random sampling method does not identify the exact quantities of packaging waste placed on the market in the Republic of Slovenia, as it is a statistical method. The random sampling method is carried out by Interzero.

We also offer to carry out the entire waste products activity, freeing you from work that is not related to your company’s operations (External Activity Management).

Legal persons are legally obliged to dispose of waste products properly.

We help companies (legal entities) to dispose of their waste products and meet their legal obligations. When the waste is delivered, the company receives a record sheet to show that the waste products have been handled correctly.

For more information, please contact us at odvozi@interzero.si and we will be happy to advise you.

You can deposit your separately collected packaging waste by making an appointment at odvozi@interzero.si.

Recycling is an effective way of conserving natural resources and a way of integrating waste materials into the circular economy. If single-use plastics are not reduced, it is predicted that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. Closing the material loop requires knowledge of the correct separate waste collection process. For example, bottles made from recycled PET material have become a textbook example of recycling in the packaging industry.

With the “Check for Recycling” recyclability check, Interzero brings sustainable strategic packaging measures to the Slovenian market.

Check the recyclability of your product packaging and get the “Check for Recycling” label, which will make you one of the companies that manage their packaging sustainably.

We analyse the recyclability of your packaging with a software tool to identify collection, sorting and recovery options. Based on good input data, you can get a quick estimate of the recyclability of your packaging.

If your packaging has achieved a high recyclability rating, you will be awarded a “Check for recycling” certificate. Otherwise, we can give you expert guidance on how to improve your packaging.

The service is aimed at suppliers and companies that place packaging or products on the market in their own packaging.

For more information on the service and the recyclability checking process, please contact our experts.

WHO ARE THE LIABLE ENTITIES?

• PACKAGERS,
• IMPORTERS,
• PRODUCERS,
• ACQUIRERS,

who are the first to place “SUP” products on the Slovenian market.

WHICH PRODUCTS ARE ADRESSED BY THE REGULATION?

SUP (Single Use Plastic) products are made partly or entirely of plastic, intended for single use and placed on the market in packaging or as a product.

• food containers,
• food wrappers and wrappings
• beverage containers up to 3 litres (incl. caps and stoppers),
• drinking cups (incl. lids and stoppers),
• lightweight plastic carrier bags,
• wet wipes,
• balloons,
• tobacco products with filters and filters for use in combination with tobacco products,
• fishing gear containing plastic.

The primary objective of the “SUP Directive”is to reduce the environmental impact of certain plastic products.

The main measures on the basis of which the “SUP Directive” aims to achieve its objective are:

• reducing consumption of SUP products
• design requirements for SUP products
• reporting on waste generated from SUP products to ensure better traceability
• raising awareness among consumers and businesses
• taking proportionate financial responsibility for littering (as a consequence of placing SUP products on the market)
