SIKA Everbuild, a leading manufacturer of building chemicals, is increasing the sustainability of its packaging by using repurposed or recycled plastic across its core product range.
The company is aiming to
reduce its use of virgin plastic by embarking on a mass roll-out of new, more sustainable packaging which it anticipates will save more than 400 tonnes of virgin plastic this year alone. The first phase focuses on some of Sika Everbuild’s most popular products, including its Stixall adhesive and Fastfix jointing compound, with a view to converting the packaging across more product ranges in due course. Customers will be able to easily identify the new packaging thanks to its dark grey colour.
Sika Everbuild has also invested heavily in the sourcing and testing of the new packaging to ensure that the storage, usability and performance of its products continue to meet the highest standards. Sika Everbuild’s new packaging will be manufactured using a minimum content of 30 per cent post- consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and the manufacturer is continuing to develop its packaging solutions, working with suppliers to increase this percentage in the future. The PCR plastic used is specifically the high-density polyethylene plastic which is commonly found in many
consumer goods such as milk, shampoo and water containers, as well as sewer, water and gas pipes. Where PCR plastic isn’t available due to rising global demand, Sika Everbuild has put plans in place to use post-industrial recycled (PIR) plastic if necessary. Although not recycled, it would otherwise be sent to landfill and using PIR plastic as an alternative to virgin plastic reduces the company’s reliance on raw plastic.
Having been rigorously tested at various stages of the manufacturing process, Sika Everbuild is confident that the new sustainable packaging is fit for purpose and will not compromise the performance or application of its products in any way.

SNIFFE & LIKKIT, the fast-growing British dog grooming and treats firm, has created two new SKUs to maximise gifting opportunities for retailers across all categories. The new products tap into the fact that, with dogs being treated as an important and equal member of the family, they’re just as likely to be ‘gifted’ as anyone else. And it’s not just ‘pooch parents’ who are driving
these sales. Strong anecdotal evidence from consumer events, as well as feedback from retailers, has highlighted just how many of Sniffe & Likkit’s sales were being generated by friends and family of dog owners. So, with the Easter holidays set to trigger thousands of family and friend visits, the firm felt it the perfect moment to create new gifting options. The ‘Inn The Dog House’ (RRP £17.00) gift set features four of Sniffe &
Likkit’s signature products - including ‘Fragrant Fur Coat’ shampoo, a pack of ‘Wippets’ wipes, ‘Give a Dog a Cologne’ fragrance spray and a scented hanging sachet, ‘Scent Something Nice’. The second gift item is the ‘Paw Kit Treat Tin’ (RRP £10.00), a sturdy metal tin full of all-natural tasty snacks, made from a natural and healthy balance of sweet potato and chicken liver. Treats are currently a major driver in the UK dog food market and a significant contributor to value, as they typically command a price premium over everyday meals. The two products further boost the firm’s gifting line-up - joining its ‘Scent-a-Message’ scented greetings cards, ‘Home Barking Kit’, ‘Woofpack’ travel bag and Christmas-themed stocking and ‘Mutt Crackers’. Lee Sargent, Co-Founder, said: “People love bringing gifts for a dog, especially if they think it’ll ‘miss out’ on a celebration or gifting occasion! It’s all part of the lovely humanisation of dogs and a recognition of just how important they are to a home. Gifting’s growing nicely for us, so expect further additions.”
• All Sniffe & Likkit items are available from Pedigree Wholesale and direct from
