Sustainability
Explained...
In essence sustainable packaging should be sourced responsibly,
so even the ink, adhesives and coatings on packaging should be
considered through the life cycle of the packaging. All end-of-life
scenarios should be considered, and the appropriateness of the
packaging designed to facilitate maximum recovery.
(De昀椀nition of Sustainable Packaging: August 2011)
This is just one de昀椀nition of sustainability, however, you could
search the internet and 昀椀nd at least another 10 de昀椀nitions, all
equally relevant to today’s environmental calamity. What is clear,
however, is that sustainability is not just what we do here and
now, it’s the far reaching effects and what it means for future
generations.
As a result, we have created a sustainability-certi昀椀ed range of
products that adhere to current sustainability requirements,
including FSC® and the UK’s plastic tax legislation. We work on
pushing the sustainability horizon by actively sourcing products
containing increasing levels of recyclable & recycled content.
