Sustainability

A greener approach

As the focus on the responsible use of packaging becomes ever more important, BodyPak is committed to designing and developing new products with a focus on responsible material choices. We continue to work with our manufacturing partners in offering new and compliant material options along with developing lightweight, reusable and fully recyclable packaging to our customers under the principles set by the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

Reduce: Developing lightweight and material-efficient components
Reuse: Innovations in refillable and reusable components
Recycle: Mono-material components that are easily recycled

As well as the above methodologies we make it easy for our customers to comply with national regulations by offering a minimum of 30% recycled content in our standard product range.

PIR (Post-Industrial Regrind)

Making use of material waste recovered from industrial processes, particularly PP material which can be used in the manufacture of our closures.

PCR (Post-Consumer Regrind)

Making use of plastic materials that have been recycled, particularly PP and PE materials. This material is made from components that have been used by consumers before being separated, cleaned, recycled and re-used in newly manufactured components.

Biopolymers

Making use of materials derived from natural sources. We can now offer extrusion blow moulded bottles and flexible tubes produced in sugar cane derived PE material, which is produced from the waste product of sugar cane. This material has similar properties to fossil fuel derived PE and is also recyclable.

Sustainable solutions

We design all of our products to be appealing to the eye and capable of sustaining use for many years. The appeal of plastic is that it is so versatile, durable and inexpensive, so why dispose of perfectly usable packaging after its contents have been used? We have a great team of people who can create exciting reusable packaging designs, negating the need to recycle or dispose.
