Wishing you a joyful holiday season! #Mpact #MpactGroup #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy

As one of the leaders in the packaging and recycling industries, we have a responsibility to the environment. That’s why we’ve designed a manufacturing chain that reincorporates used packaging before it reaches landfills or our oceans. It’s part of our mission to develop practical, economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions that bring us, and the world, closer to a true circular economy. #circulareconomy #mpactgroup #mpact #smartersustainablesolutions #circularthinking Mpact Limited

Reflecting on a year of innovation and sustainability. As we wrap up another year, we’re proud to celebrate the progress we’ve made in advancing recyclable and sustainable plastic packaging solutions at Mpact Plastics. Our mission to create sustainable, high-performance packaging drove significant advancements in materials, processes, and partnerships aimed at improving recyclability and reducing waste. This is undoubtedly demonstrated by the awards received this year. Key highlights include reduction of virgin materials, increased use of recycled content and optimising packaging designs to improve recyclability. Scientific capabilities are integrated at every stage of the value chain. Strong focus is given to support fit-for-purpose food packaging, taking into consideration the risks associated with using recycled materials. Specialist techniques are employed to trace any contaminants that might adversely affect food packaging. Thank you to our customers, partners, and team members for being part of this journey. #Mpact #MpactLimited #MpactPlastics #Innovation #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

Close the loop with us. At Mpact Plastics, we champion circular solutions and urge both brand owners and consumers to take responsibility for sustainable waste management. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on reducing plastic waste and protecting our planet, especially as we enter the festive season where our beaches, rivers and recreational facilities attract holidaymakers with a wide range of consumable items. Our mission is clear: to keep plastic packaging out of landfills, oceans, and waterways. Microplastics, originating from various sources such as the breakdown of larger plastic items, resin pellets used in manufacturing, and microbeads intentionally added to cosmetics, detergents, and other products, present a serious threat. Consumers play a vital role in recycling once they understand how to properly dispose of plastic packaging. This starts with reading the recycling symbols displayed on our packaging. #Mpact #MpactLimited #MpactPlastics #CircularEconomy #SustainablePackaging

Mpact Plastics redesigned VITAL’s vitamin container to be sleeker and more user-friendly. It has also reduced costs at plant level for VITAL and reduces plastic waste by removing the external tamper-evident tab and internal plug-seal. This innovative packaging is helping us lead the way to practical, economically viable and environmentally sustainable solutions that bring us, and the world, closer to a true circular economy. #SustainablePackaging #CircularEconomy #Innovation #CostEffective #EcoFriendly #PlasticWasteReduction #UserFriendlyDesign #Sustainability #IndustryLeaders #VITALVitamins #MpactPlastics #WasteManagement #smartsustainablesolutions Mpact Limited

In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of business, Mpact Plastics increasingly recognise the importance of employee wellness as a key factor in driving productivity, engagement, and long-term success. During the month of October, we focus on breast cancer awareness and encourage our employees and their loved ones to undergo screening and self-examination for early detection. Educating employees on cancer awareness is a vital part of fostering a healthy and informed workplace. Providing information on early detection, risk factors, and prevention strategies empowers employees to take charge of their health. Our employees attend workshops, informational sessions, and health screenings to help raise awareness about the importance of regular check-ups and recognising symptoms. #Mpact #MpactLimited #MpactPlastics #EmployeeWellness #SustainablePackaging #CancerAwareness #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
