This episode we hear from Peter Wessel and Shaun Herdsman from Modiform.
Modiform offers solutions in the field of growing, transport, and packaging systems for the horticultural sector based on recycled raw materials.
As one of the first horti-packaging companies to start looking into the recycling of plastic, Peter and Shaun talk about how and why they started the business
They discuss how the horticulture sector will be affected by plastic taxes such as the 'Plastic Packaging Tax' (PPT), 'Packaging Recovery Notes' (PRNs) and 'Extended Producer Responsibility' (EPR).
They discuss how the sector can go further in making packaging more sustainable and whether the UK could implement a reusable transport trays scheme, as Europe is doing with the European Transport Tray.
Modiform has just entered the online retail sector with your plant delivery packaging and why they have chosen to use moulded fibre only.
