Materials and disposal
At Unipak, we believe responsible waste management should never come at the expense of safety, quality, or performance. Whether it’s trusted personal protection or reliable food packaging, our solutions are designed to support sustainable practices while meeting the highest standards.
We acknowledge that waste is still waste. However, by staying at the forefront of best-practice advice, we empower businesses and communities to make informed choices—balancing operational needs with environmental responsibility.
The most sustainable solution is often the one already in place, but when that isn’t viable, we seek proven alternatives that safeguard people, support business success, and minimise environmental impact.
Proper disposal is key to reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy. That’s where you come in. We—and the environment—need your help.
Takeaway food packaging
Our Green Choice™ range offers takeaway food packaging solutions that are either recyclable or compostable-when disposed of correctly. Compostable products in the range are manufactured from materials like paper, sugarcane, and plant-based PLA, with only food-grade inks and adhesives.
