Packaging solutions your products deserve from the people you can count on

Packaging waste is no longer a background issue. It’s a defining challenge for modern supply chains. Across the UK and globally, millions of tonnes of plastic packaging are produced each year, with a significant proportion ending up in landfill or leaking into the environment. For businesses that rely on transit packaging like stretch wrap, this creates a difficult tension between operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

When it comes to pharmaceutical packaging, safety is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s non-negotiable. As medications become more widely used in homes, the responsibility to protect vulnerable users, especially children, has never been greater. At the same time, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals expect packaging that is intuitive, accessible, and convenient to use in everyday life.

The UK’s packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework is set to undergo significant changes in 2026, following the draft amendments laid out in November 2025. These updates will affect how producers manage packaging waste, report on recycling efforts, and work with Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) under PackUK. From the introduction of fee modulation based on packaging use to revised definitions for fibre-based composites, the new rules will bring both operational and financial implications for businesses across the country.
