Packaging Solutions

Colpac is the first company to have been awarded the reviewed and updated Environmental Seal of Business Excellence from The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF). This award demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and stringent environmental practices.

Colpac passed all requirements of the seal, which included areas such as waste management, supplier due diligence, and carbon footprint initiatives. The company demonstrated its waste procedures, refined purchasing strategy, and net zero programme, amongst other policies to secure the award. Mike Haynes from the BPIF congratulated and praised the team on its hard work, dedication, and overall approach to managing the company’s environmental impacts. ‘Sustainability is at the core of everything that we do at Colpac. We are passionate about improving the sustainability of our packaging and building environmental practices to advance business as a force for good. It is exciting to have received recognition from the BPIF!’ said Talia Goldman, ESG manager.

The company develops sustainable food packaging for a range of markets. As a UK manufacturer, it is aware of the challenges of decarbonisation within packaging manufacturing but embraces change and utilises its agility to continuously improve. The business has recently calculated its scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for the first time, and is working through how to deliver its short and long term net zero targets.

‘I am delighted that we have received this seal of excellence from the BPIF – a fantastic achievement for us to share with our green team and colleagues across the business. We always welcome fresh perspectives and recommendations for improvement of our processes and sustainability initiatives,’ said Frances Dickman, compliance and quality and assurance manager at Colpac.
