The CC containers of Mezonic AS are made by Hostal acp 5331 H, which is high density polyethylene. It's plastic. The raw material is designed to be used in injection molding and is of high quality. There are many advantages to making plastic containers unlike for example, steel. Hostal ACP 5331 H is made by the firm LyondellBasell which has, for the second year in a row, been named as one of "Fortunes: most admirable companies». They have a high focus on safety in the workplace and on environmental friendliness.
LyondellBasell's focus on being ethical and environmentally friendly is one of the reasons for the award awarded by Fortune. In 2018, they made their industry-leading safety measures at work even better, with the goal of zero damage at work. In addition, they focus on ethical working conditions and well-paid jobs in both Europe and North America.
LyondellBasell is at the forefront of the industry when it comes to environmentally friendly focus. They are the first plastics manufacturer to have partnered with a recycling company, SUEZ,to recycle plastic. Together they create a circular economy by utilising plastic waste. The uniqueness of this collaboration is that the unique knowledge and expertise of LyondellBasell can develop and work on developing the best version of recycled plastic. That is, recycled plastic that can be used for the most and that reuses as much of the recycled material as possible.
Unfortunately, the requirements that must be met for hazardous material containers to be UN certified at the level at which our CC containers are so demanding that recycled plastic cannot be used. This makes it unrealistic to achieve with recycled material. In any case, it is good to know that the material is produced by a material manufacturer, and that the containers can be recycled for reuse as material or with a high energy recovery rate if burned. For applications that do not require equal certification, Mezonic constantly assesses whether it is possible to use recycled plastic raw materials. Fortunately, there are many other necessary items in everyday life that can be made of recycled plastic, such as shopping bags and toothbrushes. Increased demand for recycled plastic is positive for society and the environment as plastic rubbish has a higher value on the market. This can lead to better care of the plastic waste, and may lead to larger companies being willing to pay for the collection of plastics in ocean areas.
LyondellBasell has played an important role in founding an alliance with the goal of stopping plastic littering, called Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW). LyondellBasell has a great focus on recycling plastic, and is working to get plastic off the oceans. They do this through a collaboration with other companies to find market-based solutions to get plastic stously off the wild.
By purchasing the CC container, you know as a customer that the raw material comes from a safe, ethical and environmentally focused business. At Mezonic we work for transparency at our upstream companies, choosing to pay more for raw materials and materials we know are produced in an environmentally friendly and community-friendly way. We hope that many other companies have the same priorities as us.
