Smurfit Kappa Becomes ‘First Vegan-Certified Packaging Company'
Smurfit Kappa has been awarded The Vegan Society trademark, in the process becoming the first packaging company to be vegan certified.
The group achieved the trademark thanks to its Markham Vale site in the UK, where vegan certified packaging products are produced using corrugated solutions, which are both vegan and environmentally friendly, the company said.
The Vegan Society has been in operation since 1990, and when it comes to determining what constitutes ‘vegan’ packaging, products need to be produced using paper, glue, starch and inks that are sourced from eco-conscious suppliers and are free from animal products.
