BOURNEMOUTH, UK. February 20th, 2025 – As the packaging industry moves towards a more circular future, SPS Pouches proudly announces that it has fulfilled its commitment to ensuring all customers have access to flexible packaging that is either fully recyclable or reusable. By harnessing mono-material film technology, SPS Pouches has successfully delivered sustainable packaging solutions for both liquid and dry products—proving that environmental responsibility and packaging performance can go hand in hand.
The transition to fully recyclable packaging is a direct response to increasing consumer demand and industry-wide efforts to reduce waste. With the UK Government’s Simpler Recycling scheme set to improve kerbside collections for flexible packaging over the next couple of years, SPS Pouches is strategically positioned to help brands adapt their packaging to meet upcoming regulations. “By investing early in fully recyclable mono-material solutions, we’ve put ourselves on the front foot as we move towards a more circular economy,” said Elliot Hyams, Director at SPS Pouches. “Small brands and startups are under increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, and we’re here to ensure they don’t have to compromise on quality, functionality, or design with their flexible packaging.”
As part of its commitment to driving industry progress, SPS Pouches will be attending the 2025 BPF and Plastics Europe Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords on 4th March, hosted by Lord Harrington of Watford. The event will bring together key figures from across the plastics and packaging industries, alongside policymakers, to discuss the role of plastics in the UK’s economy and its path towards sustainability. With plastics contributing over £28.7 billion to the UK economy and supporting sectors such as food and drink, healthcare, and automotive, SPS Pouches recognises the importance of balancing functionality with environmental responsibility. The company continues to work closely with industry leaders and policymakers to ensure flexible packaging plays a role in a more sustainable future.
Looking beyond 2025, the company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainable packaging and is actively exploring new solutions such as compostable bioplastics and cellulosic films to further expand its offering to a wide range of industries. On their website, they write: “We believe in a waste-free world and hope that your brand can join us on our sustainability journey.”
