Essentra, Herbert Walkers and Crystal Press join Packaging 2 Recycling scheme

Three key packaging manufacturing and printing companies have signed up to the BPIF-supported Packaging 2 Recycling scheme.

Sites belonging to Essentra, Herbert Walkers and Crystal Press will now focus on achieving 100% recycling of the waste materials generated from the manufacturing and printing of packaging.

The Packaging 2 Recycling scheme is designed to promote the environmental credentials of carton board as a packaging material. It is operated by Prismm Environmental and is sponsored by the British Printing Industry Federation (BPIF).

Companies that sign up to the programme commit to best practice recycling and in return receive certification and an industry-recognised logo to promote their achievement.

Prismm Environmental managing director Mike Jackson said: “We are delighted to welcome Essentra, Herbert Walkers and Crystal Press to the Packaging 2 Recycling scheme.
