To support its ongoing focus on sustainability, Seco is making a significant change to its product packaging. The company is transitioning to environmentally friendly packaging made from 98-100 percent recycled materials, a move that will result in an estimated reduction of 131 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

With the transition to sustainable packaging, Seco is making an important step toward their ambitious sustainability goals, including achieving operational net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and reaching 90 percent circularity by 2030. The new packaging, made of 98-100 percent recycled Polypropylene or Polyethylene depending on the supplier, maintains the same high standards of quality and functionality that customers expect while contributing to a more sustainable future.

Seco assures its customers that the transition to recycled grey plastic packaging will not affect the quality. The durable and reliable packaging will continue to protect tools effectively, while also helping to reduce environmental impact.

To ensure a seamless and waste-minimizing transition, the company will first use its existing stock of white virgin plastic packaging before fully adopting the grey recycled alternative. Throughout this period, customers may receive a mix of both packaging types.

“At Seco, sustainability is more than a responsibility — it is an opportunity to lead by example,” says Maria Blomqvist, Vice President Sustainability & EHS at Seco. “By transitioning to recycled plastic packaging, we are taking another critical step toward reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining the high quality our customers expect.”
