Closing
The Loop

We're not just about providing food service packaging solutions - we're about making a positive impact on the environment. Our "Closing the Loop" initiative is all about educating our customers and supporting ongoing sustainability efforts. With partnerships like Veolia, co-cre8, and First Mile, we're taking concrete steps towards a greener future.

Closing The Loop

Our partnerships with industry leaders like Veolia, co-cre8, and First Mile are instrumental in our mission to close the loop on food service packaging waste. These collaborations enable us to offer comprehensive recycling and composting solutions, ensuring that our products have a sustainable end-of-life plan.

  • Once they're full: You can book a prepaid courier collection by scanning the QR codes found on the box. First Mile will confirm a collection time and come to collect the waste from inside your premises.
  • What happens to it: The box is returned to the First Mile centre where they separate the materials, check for contamination and bale each material type. Compostable materials are broken down using high heat and pressure to create biogas and liquid digestate to be used as fertiliser.
