PACKAGING

“As with all our products, every part of the supply chain has been considered in the specification of the bowls, from point of fill through to point of disposal. We are delighted with the success of Stagione and the addition of the bowls provides even more options for our customers.”

Help With Cost Pressures

BioPak reports that it has recently lowered its prices on over 180 environmentally friendly packaging products on its UK website to help operators mitigate some of the cost pressures being faced across the board right now.

The company say that they offer compostable packaging made from rapidly-renewable, plant-based raw materials for businesses who want to preserve and protect the environment for current and future generations. Since 2010, their compostable packaging has helped its customers to avoid the creation of over 22million tonnes of plastic and create 1.46million kilograms of compost in the process, they claim.

Currently, they are offering up to 20% savings on Kraft salad bowls and lids, up to 23% off for BioCane takeaway bases, up to 25% off for BioCane plates and up to 26% savings on selected products in the BioPak cutlery range. BioPak has also reduced its prices on a range of other products, including BioCups, soup containers, napkins and more.

This price reduction has been made possible due to a significant reduction in the costs of freight for some products, they report, as well as the stabilisation of foreign currency exchange.

“We know that all of our customers, whether it’s big brand restaurants or small independent coffee shops, are looking for ways to reduce their spending at this moment in time and we’re glad that we’re able to pass this saving on to the customers,” said Leanne Osborne, managing director of BioPak UK.

Making A Savvy Swap

“The government has recently announced that a wide range of single-use plastics will be banned in England from October 2023,” confirms Nathan Gray, head of sustainability at Reconomy (www.reconomy.com)
