SPS Pouches has successfully fulfilled its commitment to providing customers with flexible packaging that is either fully recyclable or reusable, marking a major step forward in sustainable packaging. By embracing mono-material film technology, the company has introduced environmentally friendly packaging solutions for both liquid and dry products—demonstrating that reducing environmental impact does not mean sacrificing packaging quality or performance.
The transition to fully recyclable packaging reflects increasing consumer demand and industry-wide efforts to reduce waste. With the UK Government’s Simpler Recycling scheme set to enhance kerbside collections for flexible packaging in the near future, SPS Pouches is already helping brands adapt to new regulations. Elliot Hyams, Director at SPS Pouches, commented: “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. 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.”
To further drive sustainability initiatives within the industry, SPS Pouches will attend the 2025 BPF and Plastics Europe Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords on 4th March, hosted by Lord Harrington of Watford. This event will convene industry leaders and policymakers to discuss the future role of plastics in the UK economy and strategies for sustainable development. With plastics contributing over £28.7 billion to the UK economy and serving key sectors such as food, healthcare, and automotive, SPS Pouches recognises the importance of balancing functionality with environmental responsibility.
Beyond 2025, the company is committed to expanding its portfolio of sustainable packaging solutions and is actively researching innovations such as compostable bioplastics and cellulosic films. On their website, they affirm: “We believe in a waste-free world and hope that your brand can join us on our sustainability journey.”
