We offer unrivalled expertise in helping customers reduce waste and increase recyclability by moving to inspiring, sustainable paper and cartonboard/film laminate packaging. The 4 ‘Rs’ of Sustainable Packaging Throughout the design and creation of our ranges we always bear in mind the four ‘Rs’ of sustainable packaging. Reduce – Achieving the packaging needs using the minimum packaging required Re-use – To ensure that wherever possible the packaging we produce can be utilised to its fullest extent Recycle – To ensure the recyclability options for the packaging are as wide-ranging as possible Recover – To ensure our packaging is suitable for energy recovery We believe it is important to operate and achieve good environmental practices and are committed to protecting the environment through the use of sustainable managed resources. Do you have Courtauld Commitment 3 targets? Read our white paper for advice on how to meet them. Environmentally Friendly Materials By weight the largest components of our packaging are cartonboard and paper. The fibre used in paperboard is a certified, sustainable, renewable resource. All the mills and suppliers we use are chain-of-custody certified to Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) or Programme for the Endorsement for Fibre Certification (PEFC) standards. By evaluation of these suppliers we have been able to establish that our raw materials come exclusively from managed sustainable forests, and through this we make a contribution to ensure that the world’s natural forests remain untouched. Our use of film laminates allows our customers to reduce the amount of petroleum-based plastics in their supply chains, while giving the preservative properties that the public expects in modern food packaging. All our inks and adhesives are low migration food grade UV flexo, which, once cured, is inert and does not interact or detract from the environmental properties of our products. Recyclable and Compostable The majority of our packaging can be labelled “widely recyclable”, and we even produce fully compostable products using PLA film made using organic renewable resources.
