Recycling
Polythene is a great material, flexible, adaptable, cheap, re-usable, reformable and reclaimable many times over with a little effort. Most of our products are for larger, more industrial applications where collection can be easy and we already use a lot of recycled material in the products we make where the application allows. There is certainly ian increasing demand, so we could use much more and will do so as separation improves and it becomes more abundantly available, protecting more of the resources we have all previously taken for granted.
As innovation improves we will undoubtably be able to utilise those new materials, processes and techniques.
Sustainability
We recycle over 90% of our waste polythene materials internally, the rest externally, re-use wooden pallets and other materials where ever possible.
But sustainability is more than just the environmental impact of our activities. Continuity of our business by manufacturing and dealing with all matters responsibly and reasonably is of great importance to us and our customers to ensure a reliable, mutually beneficent service.
Presence
Most of our products sales and direct deliveries are made to the UK with some to Scandinavia. Our Polythene is mostly used for packaging and protecting goods that are often supplied around the globe, but also in many other applications such as in construction and agriculture.
