Sustainability

We have developed “Generation Green”, our second generation of flexible packaging designed with sustainability in mind. This range includes options such as recyclable and plastic-free flexible packaging.

Conventional flexible packaging laminates are not considered widely recyclable. Our recycle ready LDPE options and plastic-free paper options are both considered widely recyclable in Ireland, UK and Europe.

Our plastic-free paper packaging can be disposed of in home recycling bins.

Customers in Ireland and some European countries can dispose of our plastic recyclable packaging at home in their dry recycling waste bins.

Other customers can dispose of our plastic recyclable packaging at collection points in larger stores.
