Be more circular

We want to help your business become part of a successful circular economy by prioritising reduction, reuse, and recycling in your packaging activity over recovery or disposal. We’ve already helped several major retailers and manufacturers streamline their processes, including Greggs and Ribena.

Packaging is a key part of our sustainability ambition, so it is extremely useful to work alongside Biffa on their ‘packaging surgery’ concept. We’ve already identified opportunities and options for further development by combining our internal knowledge and the recycling infrastructure experience of the Biffa team, and we see this developing into a key part of our innovation approach in the future
