Falken Industries Ltd (FLKI) Launches Sustainable Vehicular Care Product Packaging on the German Market

Marketwired
Falken Industries (OTCBB:FLKI) has switched to its proprietary
Neyriat packaging innovation- a plastic, Eco Pledge Certified, made
from entirely earth friendly components for its Clean Plus® product
designs and conceptions in Germany.
The packaging is the result of years of research and close
cooperation between Falken and its affiliates. The switch to the
technologically innovative material will improve the products'
packaging carbon footprint by 32 percent and use 23 percent less
fossil resources compared to the previous packaging, according to a
life cycle assessment study conducted by researchers at the
company's Central European Research Unit. Falken is the first
company in its industry to switch to environmentally friendly
packaging for leading vehicular care product in Europe.
"Going forward, it is increasingly important for companies and
brands such as Clean Plus® to realize that the path ahead is one of
technological investment, sustainable development and high quality
in all aspects of product production - packaging included," says
Manuel Garcia, Communications Officer. "With our affiliates and
distribution partners, we have taken a first significant step,
starting in Germany, in the packaging development of the
future."
In terms of the aggregate annual environmental benefit
associated with the switch for the German market, Falken estimates
fossil energy savings equivalent to the electricity consumed per
month by 1,000 German homes, along with greenhouse gas savings
equivalent to not driving a vehicle 100,000 km.
With the choice of its Neyriat innovation, Falken addressed the
need to combine high-performance and quality with the sustainable
standards of today and tomorrow, and the entire process needed to
be more environmentally friendly and sustainable, with absolutely
no compromise on quality or performance for the end user.
Additionally, Falken is working to guarantee the lowest
environmental impact from sourcing use, disposal, recovery and
re-use.
"The Clean Plus® packaging is an excellent example of Falken's
ability to muster international collaboration amongst its
affiliates and research partners for a smarter product and one it
can be proud to showcase as an international best practice
example," added Garcia.
Falken is working to achieve the International Sustainability
and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for the new packaging. The ISCC
seal assures that the entire supply chain for the raw materials
meets rigorous social and environmental criteria.
Falken notes that moving forward, it plans to expand the use of
the Neyriat packaging to include other products in its several line
conceptions in Germany and other markets.
The new packaging is indistinguishable visually and
performance-wise from its predecessor, while at the same time being
better for the environment.
