Our Approach to Sustainability
You may agree, sustainability applies to the material but also to your operation and profitability. E.g. it's not sustainable if a perceived greener material means higher damages, increased re-manufacturing and environmental impact, and less profits. Here's what we do, why we do it, and what it actually means for the environment.
Whether it's a new material, new design or new system, we'll offer a holistic analysis of their sustainability impact; environmentally, operationally and commercially. Some impacts might be visible like a cheaper unit cost, others less visible like warehousing costs. We can help you understand and improve the bigger picture when making packaging choices. And often the cheapest is actually the greenest.

Our sustainability commitments
Price & product guarantee: We stand behind the quality and value of every product we sell.
Transparency: We're specific about materials like recycled content percentages, and recyclability claims within the context of recycling infrastructure. We're honest about what's most suitable for your products and operation. We don't hide behind vague or buzz terms.
Continuous improvement: We're always looking for ways to increase recycled content, reduce waste and improve the environmental performance of our products.
Education: We help our customers understand what "sustainable packaging" actually means in practical terms. This includes trade-offs between different materials, their effectiveness at preserving and protecting, their overall environmental impact from Manufacture, Process and End of Life, and why buzz terms like "Bio" or "Compostable" can actually be part of the pollution, not the solution.

What makes us different
50% recycled content
Our air cushion films are manufactured using 50% post-consumer recycled plastic. That means every roll requires 50% less virgin raw material. These films are exempt from the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (which applies to packaging containing less than 30% recycled content).
Return 2 Recycle
We provide free recycling mailers with pre-paid postage. You send back your used air cushion film, and we ensure it's collected and properly recycled through established recycling streams.
This isn't a token gesture — it's a genuine closed-loop service that makes recycling as easy as putting film in an envelope and dropping it in a post box. We also encourage end consumers to recycle via local recycling points at recyclenow.com.
Tree planting partnership
Through our partnership with Ecologi, we plant a tree with every order placed.
Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and provide habitat for wildlife.
It's not a substitute for reducing our environmental impact at source (which we do through material innovation, best-fit packaging and waste reduction), but it's a meaningful additional contribution.
99% air, 1% material
An inflated air cushion is 99% air by volume. The actual plastic content is approximately 1%.
That makes air cushion packaging one of the most material-efficient forms of protection available.
You're protecting your products with air — there's not much greener than that.
On-demand = zero waste
Using our machines to produce packaging on-demand means more box-fresh orders, and less packaging lying around gathering dust.
Also 1 machine = many sizes and packing options. This means the optimum material for each packing requirement. On-demand production is inherently waste-reducing.

Paper alternatives
For businesses that want to eliminate plastic entirely, we supply paper void fill systems and gummed paper tapes that are 100% recyclable, biodegradable and FSC certified.
Our paper products go straight into standard paper recycling — no special handling, no confusion.

Good to know
In 90% of cases, soft plastics have the lowest environmental impact, compared to alternatives, when considering its life cycle of manufacture, process, end of life and effectiveness at preserving and protecting. In other words, it does the most with the least.
And this lowest impact is even when not recycled or made with recycled content. Ours are both. This preserves natural resources and turns waste back in to a resource for a circular economy - further making it the greenest material, not just in colour!
The issue is if it ends up in nature, which is often down to littering or poor waste management. Not the materials fault.
Therefore we like to promote the message of responsible disposal so it's whole life cycle shines, or better still has a future in new products.
Option 2 offers extra assurance it will get recycled. Collection banks can be contaminated with mixed materials meaning it's sometimes not recycled and incinerated - which actually extracts a good yield of energy from plastic.
The mailer we'll send you is 6"x9" and usually ample for the film when it's deflated and flattened. 99% of the packaging was Air! You can ask for bigger if needed. The mailer is the same material as the film so they get recycled together. Forever Green pay for the mailer and postage to you, but kindly ask you to buy the 2nd class stamp to return.
