Green bin bags April 1st 2009 Recycled polythene products
manufacturer, bpi.recycled
products, has been named
'Manufacturer of the Year'at
the 2009 Foodservice
Packaging Association (FPA)
Awards.The business, which
is part of BPI (British
Polythene Industries) picked
up the accolade at a
ceremony held in March at
the Chesford Grange Hotel in
Kenilworth,Warwickshire.
In the foodservice arena,
its recently introduced Green
Sack range is especially
popular.These 100% recycled
polythene refuse sacks are
made with UK farm waste
plastics and are reprocessed
at UK sites.As such, not only
do they divert waste from
landfill and keep reusable
polythene in circulation, but
they also benefit from ultra
low product miles and a
small carbon footprint.At the
same time, they retain the
strength of the original
material they're made from,
allowing The Green Sack
range to offer incredible tear
resistance.
Picking up the award
(which was sponsored by
catering disposables
distributors,Kavis,and
presented by snooker
legend,Willie Thorn),Guy
Coates,marketing director at
bpi.recycled products said:
"This is fantastic news.
bpi.recycled products,and
BPI as a whole,have long
been working to show how
polythene can be used in an
environmentally sensitive
way.This award feels like
direct recognition of that
fact." More articles from BPI Recycled Products: |
