There is unfortunately a great deal of ‘misinformation‘ peddled in the marketplace and understandably many conflicting views as to how best we can package takeaway food responsibly.

The Plastic Debate

No-one should under-estimate the damage that plastic can cause to the environment – but it is useful to look at the issue from all angles. Plastic itself is not really our enemy, in fact it still has a lot to offer us in terms of hygiene, shelf life, strength and economy. The real problem is how we are disposing of it.

Single use plastic isn’t single use when it can be recycled – which is why we have built up an extensive selection of PET and RPET clear packaging which is now widely and easily recycled.
