Less plastic, more performance

Cromwell Polythene's portfolio includes refuse sacks, recycling sacks, battery bags, dog waste bags and clinical waste sacks, as well latex disposable gloves and aprons.

The company has engaged with the need for increased performance from polymers at lower gauges to reduce the amount of plastic used. Its LOWCO2T range brings about substantial savings in CO2 and other emissions.

'We are also extremely proud of our recycled blends, where we have a 97% recycled content,' says Paul Fleetwood, Cromwell's sales director.

Cromwell also holds the distribution rights in the waste management sector and local authorities in England and Wales for compostable bags made from Ecopond biodegradable resin.

They meet requirements of EN13432, the European composting standard, and fully decompose in 6-10 weeks.
