Tailored solutions for a brighter future
Delivering value to our customers
Tailoring alternative products for customers
We help customers find innovative solutions to reduce their plastic footprints. We recently worked with a UK grocer to design a successful alternative to the plastic domes they used for hot rotisserie items, replacing this with a new bag which removed the difficult-to-recycle black plastic, reduced the weight of the packaging and improved logistical efficiency.
Differentiating our offer with sustainability.
Our capabilities differentiate us and drive a very compelling offer for our clients. This helped us win a new contact, supporting a facilities management company in the UK, Andron. In addition to improved logistics that will reduce the overall carbon footprint of the service they receive, we also provide a closed-loop solution where product containers are collected and sent back to the factory to be washed, refilled and reused.
Helping customers meet their targets.
We have developed proprietary material footprint reports that provide customers with the information they need to report progress against their packaging commitments accurately. Using these tools to work closely with our customers gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate the alternative solutions we can offer that would help them meet their recyclability targets or the requirements of new legislation.
