Packaging Technology Consultancy

Helping businesses to make positive, cost-effective change to packaging to improve environmental performance

The threat of climate change is generating an increased consumer desire to purchase products that have minimal effect on the environment and is driving the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation across the globe.

If businesses don’t act now to evaluate the packaging and products they are placing on markets, they could be left behind in terms of environmental performance, which could damage their reputation and increase their environmental compliance costs.

It is hoped that packaging legislation reforms will provide businesses with an opportunity to gain in-depth insights from their data, which they can use to make positive changes to packaging.

Valpak’s expert Consultancy team helped us address the impact of the product packaging our suppliers provide to housebuilding sites and to identify opportunities to reduce waste and environmental impacts. The project was really well executed, with the testing and implementation by our suppliers still on-ongoing. Over time we hope to see reduced raw material consumption and waste, lower costs, and a smaller carbon footprint. We are extremely pleased with our partnership with Valpak.
