Our Approach
Our responsible packaging solutions are designed to be part of the environmental solution offering maximum protection with minimum material and all the polythene products we supply are and have always been 100% recyclable.
By producing our polythene products from durable lightweight protective material, we are helping to protect the environment from the use of heavier and more rigid materials that use more energy to produce, transport and store.

By Design
By working in partnership with our customers to fully understand the products use, we can suggest improvements such as options to make the bag a multi-trip item.
We offer construction and format solutions to reduce the size and micron of packaging using the latest innovations in bag making and resins to maintain strength.

Our Commitment
The UK Plastics Pact brings together governments, businesses, local authorities, citizens and NGOs behind a common vision. WRAP launched The UK Plastics Pact in April 2018, working in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) to create the first national implementation of the vision for a New Plastics Economy which I am delighted to say we are already ahead of.
Recycled Content
We provide materials for our customers as a standard with 30% recycled content. The recycled content can be reduced or increased subject to product usage and strength requirements.
Post Consumer Waste
We also offer film compounds made up of post consumer waste, taking waste from industry or consumers that would otherwise be destined for landfill and processing it to become reusable resin grades.
Degradable

Film Options
We provide films made up of up to 50% post consumer waste, films with recycled content and degradable or compostable options.

Closed Loop
We have also successfully developed our own closed loop recycling scheme. This allows for the collection and recycling of our customers own polythene waste. This idea has significantly benefited the environment and our customers.
Waste
By careful segregation of our waste streams we are, re-using and recycling at every opportunity. Our printed film and bag waste is processed at secure recycling facilities back into pellet form, for re-use.
In house plain film production scrap is fed back into the production process for certain products with zero impact on the finished film characteristics and solvent recovery is used to recycle our inks.
