Designing for sustainable packaging
Packaging for people and the planet!
Sustainability remains a critical topic across the packaging value chain and is at the forefront of consumer demands as they become ever more environmentally conscious.
A study by leading consultancy McKinsey showed that 70% of consumers would pay more for sustainable packaging, and this trend remains of high importance despite economic pressures.
At Parkside, we have been developing new sustainable packaging formats for over forty years and have the knowledge and technology to enable you to build your packaging strategy around current and future market trends and consumer needs.
We work closely with you to create sustainable packaging for your brand that truly makes a difference to your consumers and the environment!

When it comes to designing sustainable packaging, there is no ‘silver bullet’ and no one-size fits all approach. Your packaging should always align to the waste hierarchy by aiming to reduce, remove and recycle depending on product application and geographic location.
However, all packaging formats must be innovative and ensure they meet the performance requirements for today’s packing and filling lines – and Parkside is here to help. Introducing the Parkside Sustainable 7.
A solution for every sustainable flexible packaging need
Reduce
Our flexible packaging and lidding film options can be light weighted and contain increased PCR content, or are ISCC accredited containing bio sourced renewable or recycled content.
Remove
Our recyclable paper solutions are a robust and multi-functional alternative to plastic laminates offering full functionality across many applications, whilst remaining recyclable in current kerbside waste streams.
Recycle
Multipurpose mono-polymer applications, can be utilised across all existing formats, giving ultra-high barrier performance, whilst remaining recyclable alongside other soft plastics.
Renew
Our plant-based and compostable flexible packaging designs can be utilised across all existing formats and has no end-of-life disposal required. All packs are fully accredited to degrade in a maximum of 26 weeks in both home and industrial composting environments.
Waste Reduction
The role of packaging is to protect and preserve products. Our innovative reclosable, resealable and portion control solutions take this one step further to minimise food waste in the supply chain and the home.
Reuse
Our range of reclosable pouches suitable for refill applications are available across our material portfolio, depending on your functional and sustainable packaging design requirements.
Carbon Footprint
Light weight packaging formats efficiently replace bulkier and heavier packaging alternatives, saving both energy in transit and the supply chain.
