1. Introduction

At Eximex UK Ltd, sustainability is at the heart of how we design, source, and supply our packaging products.
Our Closing the Loop Policy outlines our commitment to a circular economy approach—reducing waste, extending product life cycles, and ensuring the materials we place on the market are responsibly reused, recycled, or repurposed wherever possible.

This policy explains our approach to circularity across manufacturing, logistics, customer partnerships, and end-of-life management of our products.

2. What “Closing the Loop” Means to Us

Closing the loop is our commitment to:

  • Minimising waste at every stage of the supply chain
  • Increasing recycled content in products and packaging
  • Supporting customers to return, reuse, or recycle materials
  • Creating circular systems where resources remain in use for longer
  • Reducing carbon footprint across our operations

This principle guides product development, procurement, and ongoing innovation.

3. Our Circular Product Approach

Eximex is committed to designing and delivering products that fit within a circular economy model.
We do this by:

a. Using Recycled Materials

  • Increasing post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content wherever technically feasible
  • Working with certified recyclers to ensure material quality and traceability
  • Prioritising PCR materials in our bin bag and polythene product ranges

b. Designing for Recycling

  • Ensuring our products are fully recyclable where local infrastructure allows
  • Minimising additives and inks that inhibit recyclability
  • Using mono-material designs when possible

c. Reducing Material Usage

  • Implementing the Thinner & Stretch manufacturing principle to reduce plastic use while maintaining performance
  • Continually improving manufacturing efficiency to minimise offcuts and waste
  • Encouraging lightweighting across product ranges

4. Waste Reduction & Resource Efficiency

We actively work to reduce waste throughout the production and supply chain by:

  • Partnering with manufacturers operating closed-loop recycling systems
  • Reprocessing factory scrap back into usable raw material
  • Maintaining strict waste-segregation practices in all facilities
  • Encouraging digital-first processes to reduce paper consumption

5. Customer Partnerships & Take-Back Support

Closing the loop requires collaboration. Eximex supports customers in achieving their own sustainability goals by:

  • Providing guidance on correct recycling and waste-segregation methods
  • Offering product options with higher recycled content and lower carbon footprint
  • Working toward future take-back schemes for recyclable materials
