Responsible and committed
Food is critical to life and a source of great joy and pleasure. Packaging ensures it is delivered safely and will not be wasted. We see it as our responsibility to produce the best fit-for-purpose packaging to protect and serve food. Choosing the right materials, using them in an optimal way and considering the end of life and recycling possibilities all play a part in developing more sustainable packaging solutions.
From sustainably managed forests
With the right packaging choices, the environmental impacts of making safe food accessible to the world’s growing population can be reduced. The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification PEFC (PEFC/16-33-1118) sets standards to transform the way forests are managed, to help all enjoy the benefits that forests offer. At Huhtamaki UK, our paperboard is sourced from sustainably managed forestry.
Sustainable packaging solutions
By combining our packaging knowledge and our renewable, recyclable and compostable material base, we are able to cater to a variety of needs for environmentally optimal packaging manufactured right here in the UK.
How and where to recycle your paper cups
