Producer makes ‘low-carbon’ pledge

30 March 2011


Packaging firm Sharpak has pledged to continue to invest in low-carbon innovations despite soaring plastic cost increases, to help minimise the environmental impact of its products.

Rising oil prices are resulting in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) costs hitting new highs and the prices for post consumer recyclate following the same trend, according to Sharpak.

“We are determined to continue to meet our customers’ expectations though the development of innovations which reduce our carbon footprint,” says managing director of Sharpak Yate, Bridgwater and Netherlands, Andrew Copson.

Sharpak produces c-Low lightweight, padless meat and poultry trays, and soft fruit trays containing up to 100% recycled PET.
