Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability Single-Use Plastic
Paper, Not Plastic
At Cullen, we believe in choosing paper over plastic. Our entire product range, across both our corrugate and moulded fibre divisions, is paper-based. This commitment ensures that everything we produce is recyclable and compostable, helping to reduce plastic waste and its harmful environmental impact.
Locally Sourced and FSC Approved
We take pride in sourcing our paper locally, ensuring it meets the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. This guarantees that our materials come from responsibly managed forests, supporting sustainable practices and reducing our carbon footprint through shorter supply chains.
Circular in nature
Our operations are circular by design. All corrugate waste generated during production is repurposed as the primary material for our moulded fibre products. This closed-loop recycling system means nothing goes to waste, demonstrating our dedication to sustainability and resource efficiency.
Alternatives to Single-Use Plastic
Corrugate and moulded fibre are not just eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic; they are superior in many ways. These materials offer the same strength and durability as plastic but are fully recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable, leaving no nasty legacy on our planet.
Commitment to the Planet
By choosing corrugate or moulded fibre packaging, you’re showing your dedication to environmental stewardship. With plastic production set to triple by 2040 and only 9% of plastic being recycled in the UK, switching to paper-based packaging can significantly reduce plastic waste. The average household disposes of 660 pieces of plastic weekly, and we aim to help reduce this figure
Fast Turnaround and Innovation
At Cullen, we have the capability to replace single-use plastic packaging within six weeks. Our in-house designers and engineers not only create products but also develop bespoke patented machines and tooling. This allows us to deliver innovative, sustainable packaging solutions efficiently and effectively.
Join us in our mission to protect the planet while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance in packaging. Choose Cullen for a sustainable future.
