Sustainability in Customer-Supplier Relations
Sustainability in Customer-Supplier Relations means considering not only financial transactions, but also environmental impact, social responsibility, and ethical principles. Companies are increasingly recognizing that their choice of suppliers has a direct influence on their own sustainability agenda. By collaborating with suppliers who promote eco-friendly practices, fair working conditions, and ethical behavior, businesses can advance their own sustainability goals.
A sustainable customer-supplier relationship requires openness, transparency, and shared values. Suppliers should not be seen merely as service providers but as partners with whom long-term strategies can be developed to use resources more efficiently, reduce waste, and create positive social impact. Through responsible actions, cooperation, and innovation, customers and suppliers can work together to create long-term value that extends beyond financial gains and makes a positive impact on the world.

One of the most important functions of plastic packaging is to protect products from damage, contamination, or quality loss. If goods are damaged, the raw materials and energy used in production are wasted. Sustainability plays a crucial role, especially in the plastic industry. Therefore, it is essential to support initiatives that strengthen sustainability and the circular economy of plastics. SOKUFOL is committed to continuing its responsible approach to the environment and resources, focusing on resource-efficient and recyclable foils.

Bioplastics
Plastics made from renewable resources are often referred to as bioplastics or biopolymers. The careless disposal of waste, particularly packaging materials, is one of the challenges of our time. The question arises: Are bioplastics more environmentally friendly?
