Tailored Solutions for our customers
Many of our customers are under pressure to reduce their plastic waste footprint. This is a complex challenge. The daily running of our customers’ businesses depends on the products we provide, and there are many plastic products where no viable alternative exists today. As market trends develop and new product categories emerge, our customers look to us for custom solutions, practical advice and up-to-the-minute expertise on making their operations more sustainable.
As part of our policy to provide our customers with high quality products and services, businesses within Bunzl PLC are constantly developing and sourcing new products. We work closely with our customers and suppliers in development of new, redesigned or substantially improved products.
Supporting customers’ decision making
We offer our customers expert advice on sustainablity as part of our service to them, effectively becoming a consultant or adviser on some of the issues they face.
To support this work, some Bunzl businesses in the UK have developed proprietary tools that provide customers with the information they need to understand the impact new plastics and packaging legislation will have on their business and their progress towards the packaging targets they have set. Using these tools to work closely with our customers gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate the alternative solutions we can offer that would help them meet both their recyclability targets and the requirements of the new legislation.
Enabling faster transition with Bunzl own brand
Bunzl businesses have been bringing an extensive range of own brand alternative products to market and this material agnostic position in the supply chain allows us to offer flexible solutions to our customers.
In the Netherlands for example, a Bunzl business supplied a key retailer with two different types of fresh produce bags: a reusable option consumers can buy and a more sustainable single-use bag if they don’t. Between 2018 and 2020 this transition removed 14.4 million single-use plastic bags from circulation.
