SoluPak- Sustainable Manufacturing

It might be all fun and frights today, but there’s an even scarier side to Halloween. In the UK, around 7 million costumes are thrown away each year that’s nearly 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste, and around 18,000 tonnes of pumpkins ending up in landfill. 😱 This year, let’s make sustainability part of the magic: 🕸️ Reuse, or swap costumes instead of buying new 🎃 Cook or compost your pumpkins 🌍 Choose decorations that can be reused year after year Small changes. Big impact. Even on the spookiest night of the year. 💀🧡 From all of us at SoluPak, have a frightfully eco-responsible Halloween! #sustainablemanufacturing #madeinbritain

Collaboration at its best. Our Managing Director HELEN McDonald recently caught up with Sylvie Giangolini from Hako Machines Ltd and Suzanne Maxwell from McManus Consulting to talk about what makes local partnerships so powerful, and why a collaborative approach to doing business really matters. From shared values to shared resources, the conversation highlights how much stronger we can be when we connect expertise locally and work together towards common goals. A huge thank you to Laura Yoxall of LYVideo for capturing this fantastic discussion on film, showcasing the people, purpose and partnerships driving growth across our region. 🎥 Watch the clip below and tell us: What does collaboration mean to you in your business?

This morning at SoluPak, we’re taking time to pause and reflect as we mark World Mental Health Day, a reminder that our wellbeing is no less important than our work. “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies” highlights how critical it is that mental health support is available when people are under the greatest pressure. We believe mental health is everyone’s responsibility in the day to day, in challenging times, and especially when someone is in crisis. In the workplace, we can support one another by: 💙Building safe spaces for open conversation 💙Actively checking in with colleagues 💙Promoting awareness of available resources 💙Letting people know it’s okay not to be okay Beyond the workplace, each of us can extend empathy, patience and a listening ear to those around us, friends, family and neighbours, because crises don’t stay neatly within work hours. #mentalhealthmatters #teamappreciation #sustainablemanufacturing
