GW Containers in partnership with Sæplast and RPC Promens is the UK's leading supplier to the fishing industry and animal by-products industry in addition to supplying preferred products in meat, vegetables, battery recycling, waste and food processing.

The acquisition will enable PPS to expand and enhance its current services to ensure customers have access to an even larger range of packaging solutions. Currently PPS offers the delivery, collection, asset tracking, washing, rental and repair of returnable equipment. The group also offers the sale of a wide range of returnable packaging via Alison Handling, the UK’s largest independent stockist, who joined the group 18 months ago.

AWARD WINNING PACKAGING FROM PPS

The additional day in February proved to be one for celebration at PPS with the announcement of this years EcoPack Challenge. The returnable packaging service provider wowed the judges at the recent competition and were delighted to be awarded the winners. The UK’s only show dedicate to sustainable packaging solutions, EcoPack encompasses eco-friendly inventions during the Packaging Innovation exhibition.
The competition provides developers the opportunity to showcase their packaging ideas to professionals and exhibition attendees. PPS entered the Re-Fresh box into the competition to highlight the alternatives available to single trip packaging such as cardboard and polystyrene. PPS have supplied reusable packaging services across a number of industries including food, fish and retail for many years and saw a gap in the market following customer feedback for a small RTP container solution. Not only that, the reusable container is a first of its kind with a leak proof lid and two size options having matching footprints for maximising stack and nesting requirements. Designed to be reused within the supply chain over a 10 year cycle, the units are manufactured from Food Grade High Impact Copolymer Polypropylene.
This years judges for the annual competition were Laura Fernandez, Packaging Technologist from Marks & Spencer, Jonathan Couper, Packaging Development Manager from 2 Sisters Food Group and Mark Shayler, Sustainable Design Consultant, Lecturer in the Circular Economy and Design, Royal College of Art. The four shortlisted products were presented in a Dragons Den meets packaging format to a packed floor at the EcoPack Theatre on Wednesday 24th February.

“The initial reception from the judges was positive and the visitors to the presentation theatre were very engaged” commented Andrew Lee, PPS Sales Manager. “As well as showcasing the product design it was also a great opportunity to highlight the rental and pooling solutions available and the commitment from PPS with the installation of a purpose built wash line.”

Managing Director Joanne Moss was also in attendance and joined the presentation for judge’s questions. “They were keen to understand how we would monitor loss and controls. PPS having already supplied Returnable Packaging Solutions for many years, we operate an online management portal which holds each point of the supply chain responsible for the units they have received. During the presentation Andrew highlighted how the unit would reduce CO2 within the supply chain, the judges wanted to see evidence of this. Whilst we haven’t yet conducted the study on the Re-Fresh box, previous evidence from our 15kg reusable fish tray shows switching from polystyrene can reduce CO2 by up to 89%, of which we would expect the results to be similar,” commented Joanne.

PPS will now develop the Re-Fresh box directly with Mark and Spencer and are looking forward to the next stages of trials and processing.
