Confoil - Environmental Responsibility

As a long standing signatory to The National Packaging Covenant, Confoil takes their obligation of preserving the environment very seriously.


As Australia’s only manufacturer of aluminium foil containers and pressed paperboard trays, DualpakÃ?, to the food industry, Confoil takes its obligation of preserving the environment very seriously.

Confoil has been a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant (NPC) since 2002. The National Packaging Covenant is a voluntary initiative by Government and Industry, to reduce the environmental effects of packaging on the Environment. It advocates principles of REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE while minimizing waste to landfill and conserving energy.

A key achievement for Confoil since becoming a signatory to the NPC has been the development of a culture of environmental awareness and waste minimization. Confoil monitor many aspects of our daily business operations to ensure we minimize our impact on the environment. We collect data on energy consumption and greenhouse emissions, annual usage of photocopying paper, recycling rates of cardboard, paper, bottles and cans, collection of foil scrap as a % of production, raw material utilisation, compressed air consumption, waste to landfill, efficiency of freight utilisation and much more.

Confoil is always striving for continuous improvement. A recent project involves systematically assessing large volume aluminium foil containers with a view to achieving packaging minimisation. Using world standard alloy technology and tool design, Confoil aims to manufacture a light gauge foil food container whilst retaining the strength, integrity and aesthetic appearance of the traditional wrinkle wall aluminium foil trays.
