Over the years, whether as businesses or consumers, we have been lulled into a false sense of security by the ease, convenience and, above all, the low cost of single trip packaging (STP). This has had an unintentionally devastating impact on our environment, but whilst a so called throwaway culture has developed, we are now much more aware of the consequences of our actions and we live in an age where advanced technology and understanding of materials will allow us to change for the better. Action is needed to encourage us all to move away from continuing with the comfortable ease of STP and instead invest time and resources into creating a more sustainable future. If your goal is to make your company more sustainable, the Circular Economy is the business model to work with. Not only does it aim to make your products more sustainable, it also focusses on the sustainability of the financial, human and social aspects of your business. Working in the Circular Economy model means adopting ‘reduce, reuse & recycle’ as far as possible, not only with regards to you products, but also internally with catering, stationary, paper-less offices etc.; ensuring your company remains a going concern in the long term by making sustainable financial decisions; prioritising the health and safety of your workers; and carefully managing your wider social and environmental impact. So where does IPI Global fit into all of this? In the field of the manufacture and handling of chemicals, our closed loop transfer packs offer you unrivalled sustainability and safety.
