Bell presents sustainable packaging for 2023
FOLLOWING THE successful introduction of presentation packaging made using polymers recovered from beaches and riverbanks, Bell is has announced a new grade of PET presentation packaging which contains 100% post-consumer waste.
The standard recycled content for Bell's Retran product is 70%. The move to 100% has been a challenge and by being more selective about the consumer waste and using good grade discarded bottles, sandwich and food containers the company has achieved an excellent clarity solution.
The new polymer can be used to produce formings, presentation folding boxes as well as the world-famous Retran tubing which is widely used to present hardware, DIY and sporting products.
"Our design team have worked tirelessly through recent months to achieve a 100% recycled product. Rigorous testing has been carried out to ensure the product performs well in the market and we are delighted with the results," stated Bell's MD Peter Lennie. "To differentiate the 100% from our standard product we have introduced a slight grey tint to the film which adds an attractive feature to the final presentation."
