Sharp Interpack have a strategy in place and are involved in a number of projects reducing the impact of packaging on our environment with an increasing % of product sales already in recycled materials.

At Sharpak we are extremely commited to reducing the impact of our products on the environment. We are also aware of the pressure our customers are under to meet responsibilities such as the Courtauld series of Agreements as well as the environmental concerns of their own customers.

In response to this we developed our c-LOW material which has been used successfully in our mushroom punnets since 2009. We know the protein (meat and fish) market accounts for a huge proportion of the polypropylene trays in the grocery industry so we are delighted that after extensive research and development  - the hard work that has enabled us to reduce the c-LOW material carbon footprint - we are now able to present this low carbon packaging option to the protein (meat and fish) market. We look forward to continuing to spearhead low carbon innovations in food packaging.

c-LOW is produced using a blend of a natural mineral recyclate and virgin polypropylene providing a significant carbon reduction over conventional polypropylene punnets. The combination of a reduced reliance on virgin petro-chemicals, the use of recyclate and the co-efficient rotary thermoforming production process all contribute to c-LOW's eco credentials and meet the Courtauld commitment to improve resource efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
