The corrugated recycles logo promotes recycling, it indicates that the product can and should be recycled.
The Recyclable Logo is an internationally recognised symbol used to illustrate recyclable materials.
Why recycle?
All the waste that your business/or you produce has both a financial and environmental cost associated with it which is often underestimated. Resource efficiency is not just an environmental advantage, it is also an important business process that could potentially save your organization a lot of money.
The Recycled Logo designates a product containing recycled content, but why buy packaging containing recycled content?
Firstly, it will reduce your environmental impact, conserve resource and energy and closes ‘the recycling loop.’
The recycling loop was developed to illustrate the life cycle of a recycle material, i.e., material made –> material recycled –> recycled material made into something else. Hence, purchasing a product containing recycled content is closing the loop which determines the success of recycling programs. It also stimulates markets for reclaimed materials and reduces the number of materials going to the land fill.
The 30%+ Recycled logo is used to highlight plastic products that contain a minimum of 30% recycled content. By including recycled content into the manufacture of the product, the raw material and energy resources used to make the plastic product have been reduced. Plastic packaging that is made in the UK or imported into the UK and contains a minimum of 30% recycled content , is exempt from the Plastic Packaging Tax.
This logo is used to indicate paper and corrugated products within our range that are FSC® certified. Products sold with an FSC label/claim ensures the materials used to make them have been responsibly sourced. Please see our FSC page for further details.
The Waste Saving Logo illustrates a packaging alternative that reduces waste and cost without compromising fitness for purpose. Products which are produced on longer length rolls save space, reduce packaging and save money on transporting and storage. For example the majority of our stretch film rolls are 300 metres long, bubble rolls are 100 metres long (small bubble) which are longer than many other similar products on the market.
Packing tape is available as standard in 66 metre length rolls (50 metres for paper tapes). However, we stock packing tape in 132 metre length rolls (100 metre for paper tapes). 132m length rolls use the same core but holds twice as much of a product on a roll, you will;
Reduce core waste for disposal by 50%.
Reduce packaging costs as lower cost per metre. Reduce warehousing and transport costs
Reduce the time wasted when changing rolls on the packing line
