OUR SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS
OUR SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS
Our Story
More than 35 years ago, we started working in partnership with a number of food producers and retailers.
Our aim? To ensure their packaging gives them a market difference.
Since then, by responding to their needs, we have been responsible for many innovations based on the food industry’s demands.
Progressively in the last fifteen years, we have been leading the way to a more sustainable, greener future in food packaging.
Our packaging is made from low carbon, recyclable materials or natural plant sources.
In that time, consumers have moved more and more towards convenient, ready meals and food-to-go. And increasingly, they are demanding that their food is packaged responsibly.
For more than ten years, we have been developing riji®, a replacement for CPET, the main plastic used for ready meal trays.
Until the food industry makes the change, it doesn’t matter how much we invest in solutions, or how strongly the government backs us with grants.
Today, we stock only packaging made either from low carbon, recyclable materials, or from biodegradable plant sources.
Much of it is available from stock. And the very latest is being trialled by the UK’s most forward-thinking, environmentally responsible food producers, who are striving to keep ahead on behalf of their retail customers.
Our packaging would be right at home in this environment
Two weeks in a typical vermicompost bin: two compost earthworm species (Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta) in a base of aged vermicompost with plenty of fresh organic kitchen waste (used coffee grounds, carrot and potato peels, celery and carrot leaves, egg shells, etc.) on top. Other fauna (mostly potworms, springtails and mites) arrived spontaneously in the compost bin through addition of garden waste.
