UN-approved: ALPLA launches 100% rHDPE canister

This milestone sets a new industry benchmark, enabling the safe handling of dangerous substances in a fully sustainable container. For ALPLAindustrial – which specializes in large-volume buckets, canisters, and closure systems for industrial and professional applications – the introduction of the new rHDPE canister (closure excluded) underscores the company’s commitment to pioneering packaging solutions that combine safety, sustainability, and innovation.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of industries such as chemicals and construction, among others, this new product marks a significant advancement. “This is more than just a packaging solution. It’s a symbol of how industrial sectors can transition to greener practices without compromising on performance or regulatory compliance,” says Manfred Dolotow, Plant Manager at ALPLAindustrial.

Supporting customers’ sustainability goals

For customers, the new rHDPE canister represents a future-proof solution. With EU regulations becoming more stringent by 2030, the early adoption of UN-approved sustainable packaging enables producers to meet these requirements well ahead of schedule. “The canisters can be produced immediately, offering a proactive option that supports long-term planning and environmental responsibility,” states ALPLAindustrial Sales Director and KeyAccount Manager Oliver Baumgärtel.

This achievement builds on the successful rollout of the RecyClass-certified buckets and reinforces the position of ALPLAindustrial as a first mover in the sustainable packaging market. Backed by the broader sustainability initiatives of the ALPLA Group, this new canister is a clear expression of a long-term vision. “It’s not just about meeting standards; it’s about setting them and driving the next revolution in packaging,” concludes ALPLAindustrial General Manager Roland Baumann.
