A strong commitment to the environment
Zalkin is actively working alongside its customers to combat plastic pollution. Well before the European directive on single-use plastics came into effect, Zalkin invested in technologies enabling optimal capping of new tamper-evident caps for the beverage industry. This co-development with cap manufacturers and leading brands in the market, such as the Sources Alma Group for still and sparkling water, demonstrates Zalkin's ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation.
Since 2021, Zalkin has expanded its environmental commitment with a "refurbished machines" program, enabling customers to reduce their carbon footprint while optimizing their investments. This initiative is part of a broader approach to promoting the circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of the packaging industry.
