Wessex Supplies Sustainable Packaging to Cornish Businesses

Interest from companies in Cornwall in Wessex Packaging’s range of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging products has grown significantly in recent months.

The increase in demand for packaging products that are made from recycled or biodegradable materials reflects the desire for many of Cornwall’s companies to contribute to a circular economy, carbon neutrality and environmental protection.

As a West Country based company, Wessex Packaging, has worked in partnership with many companies in Cornwall to not only supply packaging materials, but also help drive awareness of eco-friendly products and more efficient packaging processes.

Recent projects have included working with a company in St Austell to repurpose their waste cardboard into a flexible packaging material, that can be used to pack and protect products for onward transportation. The use of a cardboard shredder is helping the business reduce the amount of overall additional void fill packaging they are buying, but also reduces the cost of disposing of waste material.

Wessex Packaging has also helped a manufacturing company in St Columb Major towards their sustainability commitment by introducing our Eco100® paper packing tape, which is fully recyclable, and is a more eco-friendly alternative to plastic tape. Wessex Packaging also has 150m rolls of certified Carbon Neutral Tape, made from recycled materials, available.

For an engineering firm in Wadebridge, Wessex Packaging reviewed their dispatch process and introduced stronger triple wall boxes to help reduce the risk of damages and therefore costly returns.

And for a company in Bude, Wessex Packaging conducted a pallet wrap audit, resulting in a reduction in the amount of plastic stretch film being used to wrap pallets, through the introduction of PowerWrap® Green nano technology wrap, which also helps with their environmental requirements by containing 30% recycled material.

With next day delivery of packaging supplies in Cornwall, the service offered by Wessex Packaging is proving more and more popular in Cornwall.

And for any companies in Cornwall looking to improve their packaging processes, or have a fresh look at the packaging materials they’re using, Wessex Packaging is currently offering a complimentary £10 Costa coffee gift card to anyone who arranges a packaging review.
