In an ever-changing world, the importance of sustainability is more prevalent than ever and something that Tinplate regards as a core business value.
Tin packaging in the form of steel or aluminium is a prime example of a recyclable material. All of the tin packaging we produce can be recycled via curbside recycling. We print using litho inks which are designed to be biodegradable and are derived from vegetable oils. These inks often use plant based oils such as soy or linseed or other renewable resources. Tin packaging recycles forever; so if you can’t repurpose your tin packaging within your own home, you can rest assured that once recycled, it will be repurposed infinitely. Learn more about the impact of sustainable packaging.
Although tin packaging is the natural choice for recyclability, it is of vital importance that the sourcing and traceability of the material are done in a sustainable way. At Tinplate, our tin supply is conformant to the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process, meaning our components can be traced from raw material to delivery via our BRCGS Quality Management System.
Tinplate partners with shipping suppliers who are continuously reducing emissions and who have carbon-neutral programs in line with the UN Sustainable Development goals.
We pride ourselves on making charitable donations annually to The Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest conservation charity, as well as supporting more local charities and initiatives.
Our sustainability goals as a business are ever evolving as we strive to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. Tin packaging remains the most environmentally conscious material, and a packaging choice you can be proud of. Learn more about sustainable packaging for food.
