HENRY BELL, the family-owned quality pet and wild bird food producer, has unveiled a recyclable packaging for its new Henry Bell wild bird food range. Sustainability and reduction of single-use plastic is at the forefront of businesses and consumers’ mind. Henry Bell estimates that over 10 million packs of bird food, largely from unrecyclable materials, are sold in the UK every year. As a result, the company wanted to develop a design that was both eye-catching
but also mindful of the environment. It approached Tyler Packaging, a specialist supplier of paper and plastic packaging who were able to provide an innovative recycling solution.
The material used across the food range,
from bags of 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and 12.55kg bags and 500g, 1kg and 2kg pouches, is polyethylene single source polymer laminate, a structure developed exclusively by Tyler Packaging which is easy to recycle as it can be re-granulated back into its original form. Furthermore, it also protects the integrity of the elements inside each bag. With over 175 years of expertise in choosing quality feeds, Henry Bell products are designed with care, understanding and consideration for the wellbeing of wild birds and pets. n

Peter’s latest video (

Before attaching the front elements, Peter applied two coats of Osmo Country Colour 2507 Dove Blue and 2311 Signal Red with a small brush. Whilst the deep rich colour will hide the natural colour and grain of the wood, the natural feel and texture remains, creating a bright but natural finish. These decorative pieces were then attached, along with the front peg to complete the bird box. Osmo Country Colour is extremely weatherproof, UV resistant and very durable. It is available in a wide selection of colours from the lush Fir Green – perfect as a camouflage of lighter coloured wood, to Nordic Red, which will really stand out as well as the contemporary Labrador Blue and Pebble Grey providing a more modern look, whilst Sunflower Yellow and Cedar offer traditional
alternatives.Country Colour can be applied to a range of wood species, including oily and exotic materials. n 01296 481220 n email
