Sustainability
Leading the Shift Toward Greener, More Circular Packaging
Sustainability is central to how we build and grow Ryleon. We design packaging solutions that reduce climate impact, use renewable and recyclable materials, and support more circular value chains. By combining engineering expertise, close customer collaboration, and continuous innovation, we work to accelerate the transition toward a more climate-smart and circular packaging industry.
Our Focus Areas
Our sustainability work is guided by three areas that reflect where we can create the most meaningful and long-term impact for our customers, our people, and the planet.
Climate & Circular Impact
We work to reduce our environmental footprint across the entire value chain — from material choices to production and logistics. By increasing the use of renewable and recyclable fibre materials, improving resource efficiency, and helping customers replace plastics with lower-impact solutions, we support a more circular and climate-smart packaging industry.
People & Partnerships
Our business is built on people. We aim to create an engaging and inclusive workplace where our teams feel empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive. We bring the same commitment to our customer relationships — listening to their needs, delivering high-quality service and solutions, and building lasting partnerships. We also actively seek collaborations and new partnerships with entrepreneurs who share our ambition to accelerate a more sustainable packaging industry and want to grow together with us.
Sustainable Innovation
We continuously innovate to develop packaging solutions that are greener, smarter, and more efficient. By combining engineering expertise with eco-friendly materials and thoughtful design, we create solutions that reduce climate impact while improving overall performance. Our ambition is to drive the development of the next generation of sustainable packaging.
Examples of Activities

Co-develop customised packaging with customers to support their transition away from traditional plastic formats.
Innovate paper-based tamper-evident labels and tapes that reduce reliance on plastic materials.
