Why clean separation matters

Every Hellmann Poultry shipment contains several packaging materials. Cleanly separated, wood, paper and plastics can be recycled almost completely – mixed together, they often end up in general waste.

  • Up to 90% of crate materials are recyclable
  • Separate collection saves CO₂ compared with virgin material
  • Avoids unnecessary local disposal costs

Where is the packaging disposed of?

Please select the country where the packaging is being disposed of. You will be taken to a page with the disposal and recycling instructions that apply there for Hellmann Poultry packaging.

Why this page exists

Under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40), producers are required to provide end users with clear disposal and recycling information — either on the packaging itself or via a QR code linking to a digital page.
