ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING
We care about the environment and are committed to removing all single-use plastic packaging e.g. blister packs, clam packs, plastic euro-hangers, etc. and replacing with eco-friendly alternatives. This includes reducing our use of plastic bags, removing them altogether wherever possible. Our aim is to lead the industry in adopting green packaging solutions that reduce their environmental impact. This is the first step of many on our sustainability journey, we aim to continually innovate, providing the best products and solutions for our customers, while minimising the impact we have on our planet.
