Plastic wrapping furniture may seem like unnecessary additional expense, but transportation remains the biggest cause of damage to goods, of all types, prior to delivery.
Research for ‘The New Plastics Economy: rethinking the future of plastics’ estimates that only 5% of plastic packaging is recycled globally, compared to 40% that is deposited in landfills.
Marpak Extrusions are leading the way with our sustainable polythene range. Formed from an innovative alcohol-based polymer, grown and harvested from sugar cane and wheat, these 100% renewable polymers represent green alternatives to traditional polythene.

Efficiency, cost-effectiveness and a quality end product are all important links in your supply chain.
Supply chains involve lengthy transportation and storage processes, making goods protection vital.
For food manufacturers and distributors, it’s a complicated process of ensuring constant food quality and control so their products arrive in fresh condition and are healthy and safe for their consumers. Following are some dos and don’ts to make sure your products arrive in an optimum state.
