The responsible choice for temporary packaging solutions

At Polycover, we manufacture a large range of fully recyclable polythene and polypropylene packaging materials, ideal for providing temporary protection for your packing requirements. Over the last 30 years we have had plenty of practice with listening to customers and tailoring a solution to meet their specific needs but now we need to be more pro-active by asking our customers to check that users downstream are using the packaging products in the correct way and encourage recycling. We also need to make making sure their packaging products are more recyclable and discourage use of bio-degradable additives.

We manufacture compostable bags where the material has been made from potato starch. This material is designed to be destined for landfill or composting facilities at the end of its life, it should not be sent for recycling as it will contaminate the PE waste stream. We often receive enquiries for normal poly bags but with bio-degradable additives included. This is not a waste friendly option because bio materials also should not end up in PE waste streams and do not degrade to a mulch.

Our team are always happy to help customers, to ensure they can find the right product for their application. We have supplied packaging to many types of customers, and look forward to helping you too.

We can supply:

Bags & sheets

Covers

Fully recyclable packaging

Recycled materials available

Flexographic or CMYK print

And much more besides. In addition to our ready to go solutions, we have the capacity to create bespoke items, so if you require an unusually shaped or sized product, Polycover can help.

100% recyclable materials

We are living in a world where recyclability and environmental impact are important factors, especially when it comes to packaging. Rest assured knowing that we put the environment at the heart of what we do. Our entire temporary protective packaging range is fully recyclable, which can save tons of materials from going to landfill.

If you want to confirm the recyclability status of any of our products, please feel free to get in touch.
