Sustainability


Sustainability is an important consideration in the way we manufacture and supply packaging. As a manufacturer of corrugated cardboard boxes, we aim to make practical choices around the materials we use, how we manage waste, and the amount of material required for each packaging solution. Our approach focuses on reducing unnecessary material use, supporting recycling, and producing packaging that is designed around the requirements of the product.


Our Approach to Sustainability:


1. Environmental Responsibility: We aim to reduce the environmental impact of our operations by considering how materials are used, how waste is managed and where unnecessary resources can be avoided.


2. Recycled and Recyclable Materials: Corrugated cardboard is widely recycled and can also be made using recycled fibre. We use corrugated cardboard to produce packaging that can be recycled after use through appropriate recycling streams.


3. Energy Efficiency: We continue to review our manufacturing processes and equipment to identify opportunities to use materials and energy efficiently and reduce waste where possible.


4. Reducing Waste: Making boxes to order allows packaging specifications to be developed around the product and application. In some cases, this can help avoid unnecessarily large boxes or excessive use of material.


5. Supporting Our Local Community: Sustainability is not limited to environmental considerations. As a local manufacturer, we also recognise the importance of supporting our community and operating responsibly as a business.


Packaging Designed With Material Use in Mind:


Recyclable Corrugated Cardboard:
Corrugated cardboard is a widely recycled packaging material and can be recycled after use through appropriate cardboard recycling systems.
Using cardboard packaging can provide a recyclable alternative to some other packaging materials, depending on the requirements of the product and application.

Made to Order:
Every business has different products, dimensions, and packaging requirements.
By making boxes to order, we can work around the size and shape of the product rather than relying solely on a limited range of standard box sizes.

Right-Sized Packaging:
A box designed around the product can help reduce unnecessary space and avoid using more corrugated material than the application requires.

The appropriate level of protection will always depend on the product and how it is handled and transported.

UK Packaging EPR

What is the EPR packaging charge?

EPR is a UK Government scheme that makes businesses contribute towards the cost of dealing with household packaging waste.

GOV.UK explains that EPR:
“shifts the end-of-life costs of household packaging waste from taxpayers and local authorities to the producers who place packaging on the UK market”
Read the official EPR guidance on GOV.UK

When Quickbox supplies empty packaging, we are normally responsible for the EPR cost, so an EPR contribution will be added to your order.

The charge may not apply if:

If either of these applies to you, complete our short EPR declaration on the sign up page and we will apply the correct EPR treatment to your account.

The charge helps Quickbox recover the costs we have to pay under the Government’s EPR scheme.
