As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation, Parkers Packaging has made the move to delist plastic lids for our 100ml, 125ml, and 500ml pots, replacing them with a fully recyclable paper alternative (eco-friendly lids).
This change comes in response to both evolving legislation on single-use plastics and increasing demand from our environmentally-conscious customers. We understand that this shift may have raised some questions – particularly from those who are used to the plastic option – so we’re here to clarify and celebrate what’s next.
Why the Switch to Paper?
Legislation surrounding packaging materials is tightening, with an emphasis on reducing single-use plastics. By proactively transitioning to paper lids, we’re not only staying ahead of regulatory changes but also helping our clients avoid Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) implications.
Introducing the New Paper Spoon-In Lids
We’re proud to unveil our paper spoon-in lids, designed for P125 and P100 cups. These lids include an integrated wooden spoon, making them a convenient, eco-conscious solution for ice cream and dessert packaging.
Key Features:
- Stackable design for efficient handling and storage
- Compatible with manual and automatic filling lines
- Available in Black, White, and Gold finishes
- Manufactured in our purpose-built Liverpool factory
- Fully recyclable and PPT-free
