Packaging for Hot & Cold Food Applications...

Our food containers and trays are both lightweight and produced in materials that can be easily recycled to help reduce customers UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) costs.

Specific products within our range are suitable for re-use and all products are fully recyclable. We offer an extensive range of tubs, pots, trays, platters and buckets that are food contact certified and designed to minimise the impact of both PPT and EPR.

Talk to us to find out more about the options for example that exist within our product ranges to reduce product weights, or to discuss the merits of PET, CPET and rPET containers versus PP equivalents.

Kraft Paperboard Packaging Solutions...

Paperboard is increasingly being considered a first choice material for food packaging products. Sustainability requirements and government legislation require companies to consider different materials for their food packaging.

In this instance paperboard products help reduce PPT charges and are easier to recycle due to carboard recycling streams already being well established.

Our Kraft paper board products are fully recyclable and in turn support sustainability goals and aspirations for both businesses and consumers.

The Kraft product range is suitable for both hot and cold food presentations, is available in both square and round versions and can be supplied with both Kraft paper board and rPET lids.

Our Kraft range is the sustainable packaging choice for both hot and cold Food 2 Go applications.

For our customers, the environmental impact in relation to food packaging selection is becoming increasingly important and is a key influencing factor in their choice of supplier. As a business we only work with selected partners that demonstrate a real synergy with our own sustainability objectives.

 

We are also mindful of the changes in legislation that are being applied to food packaging, especially with the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Whilst EPR can be difficult to navigate, our experienced team are on hand to provide both insight and advise on this subject. Our aim here is to provide clarity as to the compliance required particularly for SME food producers and brand owners.
