Seco transitions to sustainable packaging, focused on reducing CO₂ emissions  

By Staff Report March 19, 2025 2:14 pm IST

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Seco is making a significant change to its product packaging. The company is transitioning to environmentally friendly packaging made from 98-100% recycled materials, a move that will result in an estimated reduction of 131 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

This transition is a key step toward the ambitious sustainability goals of Seco, including achieving operational net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and reaching 90% circularity by 2030. The new packaging, made of 98-100% recycled Polypropylene or Polyethylene depending on the supplier, maintains the same high standards of quality and functionality that customers expect while contributing to a more sustainable future. 

A greener future without compromising quality 

The transition to recycled grey plastic packaging will not affect the quality. The durable and reliable packaging will continue to protect tools effectively, while also helping to reduce environmental impact. 

Seco will first use its existing white virgin plastic packaging stock before fully adopting the grey recycled alternative to ensure a seamless and waste-minimising transition. Throughout this period, customers may receive a mix of both packaging types.
