In a significant step towards sustainable packaging, SPS Pouches has successfully met its commitment to offering customers flexible packaging that is either fully recyclable or reusable. By leveraging advanced mono-material film technology, the company has developed innovative packaging solutions that cater to both liquid and dry products—proving that environmental sustainability does not come at the expense of quality or performance.
The move towards fully recyclable packaging aligns with rising consumer expectations and industry-wide efforts to minimise waste. With the UK Government’s Simpler Recycling scheme set to enhance kerbside collection for flexible packaging in the near future, SPS Pouches is well-positioned to assist brands in adapting their packaging to meet upcoming regulations. Elliot Hyams, Director at SPS Pouches, commented: “By investing early in fully recyclable mono-material solutions, we’ve put ourselves on the front foot as we move towards a more circular economy. Small brands and startups are under increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, and we’re here to ensure they don’t have to compromise on quality, functionality, or design with their flexible packaging.”
As part of its ongoing efforts to support sustainability in the packaging industry, SPS Pouches will participate in the 2025 BPF and Plastics Europe Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords on 4th March, hosted by Lord Harrington of Watford. The event will unite key industry leaders and policymakers to discuss the future role of plastics in the UK economy and how the sector can transition towards more sustainable solutions. Given that plastics contribute over £28.7 billion to the UK economy and serve vital industries such as food and drink, healthcare, and automotive, SPS Pouches is committed to promoting a responsible approach to packaging innovation.
Looking ahead, the company continues to explore new advancements in sustainable packaging, including compostable bioplastics and cellulosic films, to further expand its eco-friendly offerings. On their website, they state: “We believe in a waste-free world and hope that your brand can join us on our sustainability journey.”
