In our LC Partner Stories we share projects and initiatives we are working on with our trusted partners.
LC Packaging’s Head Office Sustainably Designed by Quadrant4
Next year, LC Packaging will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Looking back at its history, but also forward towards a sustainable future, LC Packaging's new office building had to be a sustainable building with a clear link to the past. To create a new head office and warehouse with more space for working together, logistics, and warehouse, LC Packaging partnered with architectural design agency Quadrant4.
Capacity development supported by FMO
At LC Packaging, sustainable production and consumption are a top priority. With the support of FMO , the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, we have been able to conduct several long-term initiatives to help to sustainably develop and expand our SA 8000 certified production facility Dutch-Bangla Pack Ltd (DBPL) in Bangladesh.
Transforming plastic waste into raw material with KfW/DEG
Bangladesh has a problem with plastic waste. Every day, thousands of tonnes of waste end up on the streets and in the waters of Dhaka. The Ganges, which opens out into the Indian Ocean in Bangladesh, spits out more plastic waste into the world's oceans than almost any other river. With support from DEG, LC Packaging has set up GreenBANGLA to launch a plastics recycling start-up in Bangladesh.
Providing healthy futures for the waste pickers of Dhaka with Grambangla Unnayan Committee
Together with local partner Grambangla and Childhope UK, LC Packaging has developed a skill development training programme for the waste pickers in the Mutuail Dumping Site in Dhaka, Bangladesh so that they can find employment in decent sectors. LC Packaging supports this project through the LC Supports Foundation.
Turning big bags into big bags once more with Starlinger & Co, GmbH
