Sustainability - Wessex Packaging

What we do

At Wessex Packaging all of our waste cardboard is bailed up & taken away for recycling. Similarly our waste foam is returned to the manufacturer for recycling.

The vast majority of the materials that we use have a recycled content such as cardboard & polyethylene foam.

Corrpad

Corrpad

Corrpad is are made from recycled papers and are 100% recyclable after use. Our design and manufacturing facilities can provide a cost-effective solution to your packaging requirements.

Corrpad is available as angles, channels and flat sheets that can be die cut pressed & glued into moulded shapes and in many cases can be made into fittings which replicate foam fittings.

Polyethylene foam

Many people are unaware of the technical advances made in modern foam materials. Polyethylene packaging foam is no longer the environmental disaster that it was once conceived to be.

This type of foam has a non-cross-linked foam structure which be recycled back to a raw material – provides shock absorption for light and heavy products in short and long usage cycles – It is an environmental alternative for polyurethane and polystyrene – 100% recyclable – odour-free – excellent creep performance overtime – does not contain heavy metals and is CFC free hence does not have a negative effect on the environment. Importantly it is made from a minimum of 30% recycled material so has a minimal environment impact.

New machine investment

In December 2023 Wessex Packaging commissioned the manufacture of a new box making machine which is due to be delivered & installed in March 2024. This machine will greatly increase our capabilities & capacity and will ensure the future success of the company.
