Our Axjo compound comprises 100% recycled raw materials. Most comes from Post Consumer Recycling (PCR). Thanks to modern sorting plants and washes, products that have completed a life cycle and would formerly have ended up in landfill or gone to incineration now constitute important raw materials with excellent properties and purity. These are then mixed according to in-house developed formulas in light of the products' guaranteed properties, weight and areas of use. We are also a leader in the production of 100% recycled materials in customized colours. This enables our customers not only to market their brand but also to make sustainable and environmentally friendly choices through Axjo’s packaging system.

Almost all constituent components can be traced back to their source, thus minimising the risk of contaminated components entering the flow. Among other things, we require that all our suppliers can demonstrate RoHS and REACH certification.

When products are designed and developed, recycled materials have an important part, while other important factors include manufacturing method, transport adaptation and assembly. Injection moulding is a very energy-efficient manufacturing method where the product goes from raw material to finished product in a single cycle. Transportation from our manufacturing plants to our customers is also important. If we can increase the number of products in one and the same transport using different calculation systems and optimisations, we have really succeeded. Within the Axjo Group, there are several patented products where the environmental impact in an LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) is significantly lower than conventional products on the market. One example is Multipac, where we can load 60% more products on a truck, weight is reduced by 20% and outdoor storage is unproblematic. Owing to the robust design, the products are suitable for various retrieval systems. This is undertaken with different partners and, in some countries, completely in-house. When the products return, they only need to be checked, or in some cases reconditioned, before they are ready for the next cycle. If any parts are broken, the product can be repaired and the broken parts recycled into new products. Taken together, these processes amount to a unified approach that results in sustainable products.
