ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Last updated: October 2025
At The Chippy Box Co, we recognise our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and are committed to continually improving our sustainability practices. As a supplier of food packaging, we understand the importance of developing and promoting packaging solutions that are not only functional and high-quality, but also environmentally responsible.
This policy outlines our approach to minimising waste, improving efficiency, and sourcing materials responsibly across all aspects of our business.
1. Our Commitment
We are dedicated to:
Reducing our carbon footprint through responsible sourcing and efficient operations.
Promoting recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable packaging options wherever possible.
Complying with all relevant UK environmental legislation and regulations.
Encouraging our customers and suppliers to adopt sustainable practices.
Continuously improving our environmental performance through measurable goals and regular reviews.
2. Sustainable Packaging
Our product range is developed with sustainability at its core. We aim to:
Use materials from sustainably managed sources and certified suppliers.
Offer eco-friendly packaging solutions that support recycling and composting.
Design packaging that uses less material while maintaining strength and quality.
Minimise single-use plastics and promote renewable or recycled content where possible.
Where practical, our packaging materials are compliant with food safety standards and designed to have minimal environmental impact once disposed of.
3. Waste Management and Recycling
We work to minimise waste throughout our production, storage, and distribution processes by:
Recycling paper, cardboard, and plastics within our warehouse and office operations.
Reducing unnecessary packaging in our own supply chain.
Reusing pallets and packaging materials where safe and practical.
Ensuring responsible disposal of non-recyclable waste in accordance with UK regulations.
We also encourage our customers to recycle or compost our products wherever facilities exist.

Using energy-efficient lighting and machinery in our warehouse.
Consolidating deliveries and optimising transport routes to reduce emissions.
Encouraging digital communication and documentation to minimise paper use.

Operate within environmentally sound manufacturing frameworks.
