Sustainability

As an environmentally responsible business, we maintain operational practices that help safeguard the environment.

All raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are fully recyclable, and 90% of production waste enters the recycling chain.

This is in addition to supplying your business with packaging that minimises material use, replaces difficult-to-recycle materials with more environmentally friendly ones, optimises transport to reduce CO2 emissions, and is easy for end users to recycle.

Our history

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have a long and proud heritage.

From humble beginnings…

Our trading history began in 1962 in the modest facilities of Mr Albert Edward Sutton’s Harlow-based workshop. The business is now located at a purpose-built manufacturing and warehouse site in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire.

Over five decades of significant change in production processes, materials and technologies, our market-leading packaging expertise and strong family values have earned us the reputation we cherish today.
