Packaging Industry Memberships
We have various packaging industry memberships and are actively involved in associations that support the packaging sector.
These memberships provide valuable resources, guidance, and networking opportunities across many topics. They facilitate our contribution to industry standards, environmental initiatives, and policy discussions in packaging and manufacturing.


Sedex
Sedex is one of the world’s leading online platforms and membership organisations helping companies to manage and improve working conditions in global supply chains. It provides data, practical tools, services, and a community network to help companies improve their responsible and sustainable business practices, and source responsibly.
Our Sedex membership is a signal of our commitment to social responsibility. It helps us to follow guiding principles and demonstrates to our customers that we are transparent about our social responsibility and our awareness of this throughout our supply chains.

Foodservice Packaging Association
The Foodservice Packaging Association (FPA) is the representative voice of the industry, promoting the responsible manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, usage and disposal of food and foodservice packaging.
The FPA engages with all four UK governments representing the industry with key departments and committees including Defra, HM Treasury and BEIS. The FPA collaborates with other trade associations with a strong packaging remit such as INCPEN, UK Hospitality, the British Takeaway Campaign, Pack2Go Europe, Confederation of Paper Industries, British Plastics Federation and the Packaging Federation.
Being members of the FPA gives us access to guidance around policy and compliance. The FPA also provides a barometer on UK legislation and advocates for adherence to this across the industry.

British Sandwich Association
The British Sandwich & Food to Go Association (BSA) represents those businesses where sandwiches form a core part of the food-to-go offer.
The BSA sets technical standards and encourages innovation and excellence while providing a collective voice for all involved in the making, distribution and retailing of food-to-go.
As members of the BSA, we have opportunities to attend trade events and to advise the industry on topics such as recycling guidelines.

British Printing Industries Federation
The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) is a leading trade association for British print. BPIF is dedicated to supporting its members and the wider print industry by promoting progression, inviting innovation and encouraging empowerment in every area of the sector.
We are members of BPIF, and BPIF cartons; a subsidiary of the organisation which is focused on folding cartons and other packaging.
As members, we have access to industry specific business support and opportunities for networking and collaboration. BPIF also actively supports us with expertise in policy issues that impact the packaging sector, which we can then share with our customers.
We have also been awarded both health and safety and environmental seals of excellence from BPIF.

Make UK
Make UK stimulates success for manufacturing businesses, helping them to meet objectives and goals. The 20,000 manufacturers Make UK represents consistently demonstrate their ingenuity and resilience, providing solutions to the biggest societal challenges we face today.
Being part of Make UK connects us with a national network of manufacturers of different sizes and scales. We attend events to discuss industry issues with other manufacturers and industry stakeholders on a national scale. This includes attendance at roundtables with organisations such as the Climate Change Committee on topics such as the carbon budget.

Open 3P
The Open 3P data standard provides a common protocol to categorise and describe packaging, with the aim of making the packaging supply chain more data-enabled and unlocking the power of data to support sustainability.
We are part of the Open 3P Standard Custodian Board and are therefore involved in the development of the Open 3P Charter. This provides a route for companies across the packaging supply chain to signal their commitment to the principle of standardised, shareable data.
As custodian board members, we support the use of common terminology with our customers across the supply chain. The Open 3P data standard could also help us and our customers to recalibrate and standardise recycling infrastructure to support upcoming changes in legislation.

Defra pEPR Interim Scheme Administrator Steering Group
The purpose of the pEPR Interim Scheme Administrator Steering Group is to bring together representatives of the value chain directly affected by the scheme. This enables their voices within the operational design, implementation, and strategic direction of the steering group ahead of its appointment.
As the only manufacturing company in the steering group, we are committed to supporting the industry and providing an informed perspective to the development of pEPR and its governance. Our involvement has given us the opportunity to share our expertise to improve the formation of recycling methodologies.
