As part of our Sustainable Future programme, we engage with our partner suppliers to develop and deliver single use food packaging products to our customers that reduce food waste and have sustainable end-of-life solutions. We are working together to embed a reduce-reuse-recycle methodology in line with Government legislation and to prevent waste of any kind.”
