LINPAC Packaging...
Environmental Commitment As a market leader, LINPAC Packaging feel it is very important to set the standard in our industry for all the issues associated with being a corporately responsible company. From the way we treat our employees to how we act in our communities, from how we optimise our resource usage to how we run our business, all of this is about recognising our contribution to society and running a sustainable business for the generations to come. Within our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy we have 4 key pillars which are core to our overall business strategy: Economic Contribution Environmental Performance Social Responsibility Product Stewardship & Safety
Environmental Performance We focus on the light-weighting of our products to minimise the quantity of plastic used in our foam and rigid trays and have achieved over a 20% material reduction since 2010 through our LIFE® (LIghtweighting For Excellence) programme. All this whilst maintaining the packs' performance, meeting the increasing efficiency demands of our packer and retailer customers.

Product Stewardship & Safety As a company at the forefront of pack safety in the food industry, where hygiene and product safety are of paramount importance, we have pushed up utilisation of Post Consumer Recyclate in our rigid trays and have invested significant capital in “super cleaning” technology for the recyclates across our manufacturing network.
