As reported by the BBC, world leaders have convened in Geneva for what could be the final and most decisive round of UN negotiations to tackle plastic pollution. This global treaty – hailed as a potential “Paris Agreement for plastic” – aims to limit the production of single-use plastics and reduce waste worldwide.
The urgency is clear. Plastic production has skyrocketed from 2 million tonnes in 1950 to over 450 million tonnes today, About 60% of all plastics are single use and just 10% are estimated to be recycled, according to analysis in Nature.
Moving from Talk to Action: Cullen’s Scalable Solutions
While global policy is still under discussion, the reality is that solutions already exist. Cullen is helping businesses reduce plastic use now – with scalable, recyclable alternatives that work.
We manufacture high-performance, plastic-free packaging using corrugate and moulded fibre – materials that are FSC certified, UK-made, and fully recyclable in the normal waste stream.
For single-use applications where plastic is often used out of habit or convenience, we offer proven, commercially viable alternatives:
Our corrugate and moulded fibre trays protect fruit and vegetables in transit while maintaining freshness – without relying on plastic liners or modified atmosphere packaging.
Our medical pulp range supports infection control and eliminates cross-contamination risks, with packaging that’s used once and easily recycled or macerated.
Fibre trays, containers, and transit packs offer strong protection to get food to shelves intact and presentation-ready – without plastic residue or excess waste.
Our protective fibre solutions, like Beerguard™, are designed to stop leaks, dents, and damage in transit. They are engineered to perform like plastic but without creating plastic waste.
Our protective fibre solutions, like Protectin, are designed to stop leaks, dents, and damage in transit. They are engineered to perform like plastic but without creating plastic waste.
Plastic Is Not the Enemy – But Single-Use Plastic Can Be Replaced
We recognise plastic has a place – especially where it’s reused or essential to product safety. But for single-use packaging that serves a purpose for a day, an hour, or even a few minutes, there are better options available today.
At Cullen, we’re not waiting for global agreements. We’re manufacturing real-world alternatives that help customers across sectors reduce plastic at source – cost-effectively, reliably, and at scale.
