Recycled foam packaging

If your business is looking to improve its sustainability, or this is becoming a requirement of your customers, recycled foam packaging can help.


Recycled foam packaging is any foam material that contains recycled material. Options are available, ranging from 35% recycled content to 100%. Recycled foam packaging is typically recyclable, too, although not always in UK kerbside collections.


At Suttons Performance Packaging, we can provide various recycled foam packaging options for your business. Our approach also ensures that, in addition to using recycled materials, we minimise material use, pack sizes, and transport requirements (lowering CO2 emissions).

Recycled foam converters

Our foam conversion and design expertise allows your business to source a range of recycled foam packaging.

This includes Ethafoam HRC (high recycled content) and MRC (max recycled content), Stratocell R, and Ecozote recycled Plastazote. Our designers can recommend the best material, considering the protection required, budget, appearance, and percentage of recycled content. Options range from 35% to 100% recycled.

As a result, your business can switch to recycled foam packaging with no impact on product protection or your ongoing costs.

You can also avoid additional UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) charges.

We also have extensive foam recycling facilities installed at our manufacturing plant, which we can offer to customers in specific circumstances (please get in touch to find out more).
