ECO PACK SOLUTIONS
Millions of people in the UK receive name badges as part their job, at a conference, exhibition or at some point in their working year. Millions more receive or buy multiple club/ society I company or other small lapel badges. Wherever these badges come from, traditionally they have all had one thing in common - the use of plastics in bagging and packaging for each one which is simply thrown away once the item is received.
THE TASK
The scale of the UK plastic packaging problem
The Problem
Using millions of poly bags and vast amounts of plastic packaging every year in the badge industry simply to protect badges in transit then all ending up in landfill
The Challenge
To develop a bespoke packaging system using only materials that are plastic free and easily recyclable by anyone
The Solution
Our exclusive range of recycled card and paper based packaging. Plastic free badge carriers, plastic free packing materials, even plastic free packing tape
FINDING A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY
As a UK manufacturer, we decided to take a lead in designing and implementing a plastics free packaging system that we could expand to use for all our UK manufactured products, not only to do our bit but also hopefully to inspire other companies that there was a better way. Lots of research, trials, investments in materials and tooling and it was all worth it. This individual act reduced our own usage by an astounding 1.5 million grip seal poly bags a year and since launch in January 2019 we've given away the details of how to do it
