Responsibly Sourced
Products and Packaging
Providing sustainable products and solutions is core to our approach to sustainability. We know we can make a difference, and so can you. That’s why we work with our suppliers to bring you recyclable or certified compostable products and choose manufacturers with sustainable production practices. To enforce this, we have a dedicated team of 30 Bunzl employees based in Shanghai to audit our Far East suppliers, allowing us to assure our customers that we are sourcing from supply chains that re ethically and environmentally sustainable.
Recyclable and Compostable
Catering Disposables
We have a broad range of products in stock with sustainability features to help your business to be more responsible. Whether you are looking for disposables that are widely recyclable, made from recycled materials or certified compostable, we have a broad range of coffee cups, lids, napkins, plates, salad boxes and other disposables to meet your preferred waste stream.
Customer Sustainability Auditing
We recognise that our customers are also focused on their sustainability agenda. Many customers have set goals and targets around the sustainability of the products and packaging that they use in their businesses, and some have reduction targets in areas like single-use plastics and use of virgin materials. We are passionate about sustainable products and packaging and have the expert sustainability knowledge and innovative tools to provide our customers with transparent advice to help them to make responsible choices. We have developed a unique Material Footprint Tool to enable us to analyse the portfolio of products that you are currently buying. From this, we can carry out a sustainability audit of your entire catering disposables range, traffic-lighting your current product range and providing you with a report on suggested alternatives to improve your material footprint. This helps to de-risk your business by ensuring that you are compliant with upcoming legislation and also aligns with sustainability trends and the ever-growing demand from consumers to buy products that are packaged responsibly.
Reusable Products
Due to increased awareness of living more sustainably and reducing our waste wherever possible, we have seen a behavioural shift in consumer behaviour over the last few years, with carrying a reusable coffee cup now a standard practice for most office workers. We supply a broad range of reusable products to meet this growing demand. Many customers are now selling reusable products in their businesses, with some offering a discount for use.
