Sustainability


We support our customers by providing expert guidance on packaging that meets sustainability goals, keeps them compliant with legislation, and delivers the right balance of performance, protection, and efficiency.

Our team reviews product use, lifecycle efficiency, and packaging optimisation. Tackling supply chain waste, carbon footprint, and cost-saving opportunities. Through our partnership with Valpak, we guide businesses through EPR requirements and evolving regulations.

Sustainability is built into our operations, from energy-efficient offices and electric MHE to alternative fuel HGV trials. With ISO and FSC™ certification, we provide trusted frameworks for tracking impact while driving innovation to reduce environmental strain.

CASE STUDY

Our customer’s internal team had already made significant progress and had explored the most available opportunities to reduce waste to landfill.  By taking a collaborative and supportive partnership approach, we were able to help them dig deeper and identify new, previously overlooked opportunities for further improvement.

Through close collaboration with on-site teams, we conducted a detailed assessment of current packaging processes and materials.  This analysis revealed an opportunity to implement linerless labels.  An efficient sustainable alternative with no backing paper.

Zero waste to landfill.
Reduced carbon footprint.
Eliminated the plastic tax payment.
40% more labels per roll.
Reduced in-house maintenance.

Q: Do you understand how the new EPR legislation can impact your business?

The legislation has been created for clearer responsibility for the full lifecycle of packaging and its disposal, it can cost money through compliance fees. Reports will be required, potential packaging redesigns, supply chain changes and possible fines for non-compliance.

Q: Would a closed loop packaging solution support sustainability objectives?

A closed loop solution keeps materials in use for as long as possible by collecting, recycling and reusing packaging or other materials. This reduces the need for virgin materials, cuts down waste, lowers carbon emissions and demonstrates environmental responsibility to customers and regulators.

Q: Do you currently optimise your packaging recycling potential?

There are many solutions to re-use primary or secondary packaging in your supply chain. This not only reduces waste, and the cost attached to it but can also be a cost-effective solution whilst supporting business sustainability goals.

Q: Is paper “better” than plastic?

The simple answer to this is “not necessarily”. The key objective is to understand what your business is looking to achieve. Once this is clear, testing, information and analysis will be able to determine what the right solution is.

Q: Is your business “up to speed” with current packaging legislation?

Understanding packaging legislation ensures your business is compliant, avoids fines and maintains reputation. Regulations are evolving quickly, especially around sustainability- keeping up helps you plan ahead, reduce risks, and stay competitive. It also enables smarter packaging choices that align with environmental goals and customer expectations.

Q: Do you measure the carbon footprint associated to your packaging and its supply?

Through optimising delivery routes and consolidating orders, a business can reduce transport emissions and overall environmental impact. By supporting this with smart utilisation of space, storage and pallet configurations, your business can track their carbon emission improvements.
