SOUTHGATE Global has announced the firm is working on a plan to replace all its packaging products with eco-friendly alternatives.
The company has invested in a specialist team focusing on new product development to help facilitate the creation of sustainable packaging products.
In the last 12 months Southgate Global has launched new products including a flexible paper sleeve, made from renewable resources. As water-based glue is used, Southgate said customers can be reassured they have a 100% biodegradable product.
Darren Smith, head of marketing at Southgate Global, said, “With the global climate change conference Cop 26 running this week in Glasgow, we feel that it is vital that a British company is leading the way in the creation of sustainable packaging. Our latest product launches are part of our mission to continually focus on product innovation and the development of new, eco-friendly packaging alternatives. We work to very high standards, with sustainability at the forefront for our packaging range, which, ultimately, will help us and our clients contribute to the circular economy.
“Increasingly, our customers want us to help them with their own green credentials, so it is vital that we pursue our mission to take responsibility by giving our customers sustainable packaging solutions, reducing waste and plastic content, whilst feeding into the consumer shift for more eco-friendly packaging products. Our mission is to have a suite of eco-friendly options available for every packaging product.”
Southgate was recently awarded a Silver certificate by EcoVadis, the ratings platform to assess corporate social responsibility and sustainable procurement.
