Sustainable Packaging Solutions

We are able to offer a range of different materials to meet increased demand for environmentally-responsive products. These include:

• PCR (Post Consumer Regrind)
• PLA (Polylactic Acid)
• Direct Printing

The company is committed to minimising energy use throughout all its activities, including investing in low-energy technology for manufacturing systems and working in partnership with customers delivering first-class products which are kinder to the planet.

• PCR is plastic products that have been recycled, which means they have been reprocessed to be re-used in new manufacturing
• PCR conserves energy and non-renewable resources as recycling replaces the need for primary extraction and the manufacture of new plastics
• We offer a range of PCR material for use in the production of plastic bottles and jars at levels of between 25% – 100% in PET and up to 50% in HDPE*
• PCR tubes are available for use with PE starting at 25% PCR material

*Subject to material availability

• PLA is a compostable polymer derived from renewable sources such as corn starch
• we have trialled PLA in various manufacturing processes and the results to date have been promising although there are some limitations on what can be produced
• We would be happy to develop this further in partnership with a customer – please contact our Sales Team to discuss

Printing adds very little gram weight to compatible products. In addition, label materials are sometimes inconsistent with the bottle which can hinder recycling.
