For years we have relied on a take-make-waste cycle: taking raw materials, making them into products to be used and then wasting whatever’s left over.
But in recent times there’s been a growing focus on how to close the loop in the cycle and operate more sustainably: how to create a circular economy. Like the cycles of nature, a circular economy works by giving and taking in equal measure — reducing or even eradicating waste by reusing and recycling resources for as long as possible.
Every business can work towards achieving a circular economy. For instance, you can offer reusable crockery, use compostable packaging or provide recycled cups and containers that can again be recycled.
At Bunzl, we’re working hand in hand with our suppliers towards a more sustainable model. Using specialist knowledge and utilising a strong global supplier network, we can source the right products for your business while sustainability remains at the core.
From sourcing sustainable product and packaging solutions in an ethical and responsible way, to consolidating them in an environmentally efficient operating model, our approach helps us to minimise social and environmental impact while maximising value.
At Bunzl, the Difference is Essential.
From our food service solutions, such as our Sustain food packaging range, which is all about renewable and compostable alternatives, to the Revive range of cups and containers, made using recyclable PET plastics – sustainability is always at the core of how Bunzl does business.
