A plastics manufacturer that's helping to restore our planet?

Yes, you read that right.

We’re fully committed to building a sustainable business in a way that not only satisfies the needs of our customers, but creates a positive influence on our team, our community, our partners and our planet.

In 2019 we introduced our Pact for the Planet. This is a pledge from us, to always be a supplier that creates a positive impact – for our customers, their policies, and the world we share.

Pact 1: Reduce carbon emissions

An important factor of climate change is carbon emissions – caused by the everyday functioning of businesses and people. We’re doing everything we can to continue to reduce our emissions. Since 2019 we’ve reduced our gas and electricity usage by investing in energy-efficient manufacturing equipment, and since January 2021 we have produced more than 250 tonnes of material made from carbon negative GreenPE. That’s the equivalent carbon saving of 255 flights around the world.

We’ve also developed a Carbon Footprint Calculator for our customers, so we’re able to accurately evidence the carbon footprint of their packaging and find ways to reduce this by working together.

Pact 2: Partner collaboration

We’re lucky enough to have built some brilliant, long lasting relationships with our suppliers and wider community over the years, who share our goal in building a more sustainable business and supply chain. Here’s a few examples of how we’re working together to make the world a better place:

• One of our partners chose DUO to be the first UK producer of carbon negative, sustainable GreenPE polythene.
• Our waste partner helped our Manchester site to become a zero waste to landfill site, and we recently helped Keep Britain Tidy to clean up our local area by collecting 40 bags of litter.
