TWINPLAST IS FIRST CORRUGATED PLASTIC BOARD MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETE RECYCLING CIRCLE

Environmentally aware corrugated plastic board manufacturer Twinplast is the first of its kind to close the recycling loop with its revolutionary Twinplast Ecoflute product.

For the first time in the industry, the Watford-based producer of plastic corrugated packaging products is using 100% recycled consumer plastic waste in its manufacturing process. Twinplast Ecoflute can be used for Twinplast Transits (the innovative multi-trip cases and trays that has a lifespan of at least 100 trips before being recycled), layer pads and dividers.

In addition to maintaining Twinplast's reputation as an industry leader in the development of environmental packaging and processes, Ecoflute marks a major breakthrough in the use of recycled material.

Twinplast Managing Director David Holladay said: "We have overcome the technical aspects of quality control with 100% recycled material and, subject to colour, it can now be used wherever virgin material was previously used. It has enabled us to become the first company to close the recycling loop".

Available in green or black, Twinplast Ecoflute retains all the other qualities of Twinplast plastic packaging board, including strength, lightness and rigidity, and costs no more than plastic board made from virgin materials.

It is the latest product to keep Twinplast at the vanguard of developing high quality packaging that provides a cost-effective solution for customers and meets environmental legislation.

This commitment to environmental awareness has resulted in Twinplast being awarded the international BS EN ISO 14001 standard, one of the smallest companies to achieve the accolade and the only one in the packaging industry. The company has also been awarded the Quality Assurance Standard BS EN 9002 and are Investors in People.
