Here at Ampulla we are continually moving to reduce not only our own carbon footprint but also that of our customers. In the past 12 months we have stopped printing invoices and packing lists for our orders and sending them digitally. We have also started the transition to electric vehicles across our business. But the most important part of our green revolution is how we are helping our customers with Eco friendly packaging.
We are all aware that the cost of living has skyrocketed over the past 6 months with no signs of it stopping, mix this with the plastic tax and you have added financial pressures on your business. Going forward, where we can, we will be migrating to 30% PCR plastic bottles. This not only is more environmentally friendly but should also reduce the amounts our customers have to spend as they will not need to pay the plastic tax.
PCR is post consumer recycled plastic which means that 30% of your bottles has been recycled and can be further recycled by the end user. Some of the largest drinks companies in the world use PCR bottles including the Coca Cola Company. This provides not only a sustainable way of presenting your products but also a marketing opportunity with regards to corporate responsibility as well as doing the right thing.
Our PCR ranges will be extended to all product categories with our aim to offer the largest range of recycled products available across the UK and Europe. If you already order products such as our black, white, blue or amber bottles, as we phase the old 10% rPET we will keep you well updated when we introduce the 30% bottles.
While the world will always need plastic packaging, by taking small steps and leading from the front we hope to encourage our customers to make eco-friendly choices. Even the packaging your products arrive in is eco friendly. All of our plastic packaging is made from recycled material and can be fully recycled when it arrives.
If you have any specific requirements when it comes to updating your products to an eco-friendly option, please contact our customer service team.
