Recycling that doesn't cost the earthAugust 1st 2006
In Britain today we produce over 10m tons of waste packaging a year, of which almost half is paper and card.
With ever stricter legislative control and waste targets to be met, packaging in the 21st century must be designed to allow easy reuse or recovery.
One company to embrace this is Easypack, whose paper converting packaging machines produce quality void fill in the form of crimped pads and Spiral tubes, all from 100% recycled paper.
The company's cardboard box shredder also recycles surplus card to produce a superior protective mat.
