Every Day is Earth Day at Cullen
At Cullen, Earth Day isn’t a one-off – it’s how we operate, every day of the year. Sustainability shapes everything we do, from clever packaging designs to efficient, environmentally responsible use of our waste. With over 1 billion plastic-free products made in just two years, we believe actions speak louder than words.
While Earth Day highlights the need for action, it also gives us a moment to recognise the progress already being made. At Cullen, that progress is powered by the systems we’ve built – like our closed-loop recycling process, which keeps materials in use and waste out of landfill. Now, let’s dive into how our closed-loop process operates, breaking down each stage of the journey.
1. From Off-Cuts to Opportunity
We don’t see waste—we see potential. Every year, over 8,000 tonnes of off-cuts from our corrugated packaging process are recycled and repurposed into our moulded fibre products. It’s all part of our closed-loop system that reduces reliance on virgin materials and keeps valuable resources in use, right here on site.
2. Moulding the Future
Once collected, the waste is blended with water and shaped in our custom moulds. It’s then gently dried to form durable, plastic-free packaging. What started as off-cuts is now a high-quality, sustainable product—ready for its next purpose.
3. Big Impact, Low Footprint
The results speak for themselves—our closed-loop process has enabled us to produce over 1 billion sustainable products in just two years. By repurposing waste, reusing materials, and reducing reliance on virgin resources, we’re lowering our environmental footprint while contributing to a more sustainable future.
4. Made in the UK, Used Everywhere
Proudly designed and manufactured in the UK, our packaging combines local expertise with global reach, serving brands in 35 countries and counting. From protective paint packaging to innovative industrial packaging, our products protect goods and drive sustainability every step of the way.
5. Sustainability, Delivered
Our packaging is a step toward a greener future—your customers are literally holding it in their hands. Whether it’s a coffee on the go, fresh fruit at the till, or drinks packaging to keep your beer, bubbles, and spirits safe, our products help reduce environmental impact with every use.
6. Designed to Decompose
All Cullen packaging is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. After use, it naturally breaks down, leaving no lasting impact on the environment. It can then be recycled into something new – closing the loop and contributing to a more sustainable future.
7. Rooted in Sustainability
Every aspect of our process is grounded in responsible sourcing. We ensure all materials come from sustainably managed sources, supporting a circular economy and protecting ecosystems for generations to come.
At Cullen, sustainability isn’t a goal we’re aiming for – it’s how we operate. While Earth Day is a powerful reminder, we believe the planet should be celebrated every day. Together, we can help it thrive – one sustainable product at a time.
