Over the past six months, Cromwell Polythene has been innovating behind the scenes—driven by our Less Waste, More Value campaign and a commitment to making waste management smarter, greener, and more resource-efficient.
Following a comprehensive review of our product portfolio, we identified key improvements and introduced exciting new additions to our waste sacks and food service range. These developments are designed to meet emerging industry needs while supporting customers in their sustainability goals.
Introducing Polythene Caddy Liners: A Smarter Solution for Food Waste
The introduction of DEFRA’s Simpler Recycling reforms has amplified the need for effective food waste collection solutions. While our compostable liners remain a popular choice, we’ve now expanded the offering with polythene food caddy liners—providing a durable and compliant alternative for food waste capture.
These new liners are:
- Made from recycled materials for full PPT compliance.
- Designed for durability and easier handling in busy environments.
- Optimised for anaerobic digestion (AD) to reduce issues associated with compostable breakdown.
Whether you’re a local authority, waste contractor or food service provider, our polythene waste sacks for food waste offer a practical and sustainable option. Speak to our team today for expert advice and free samples.
Improved Gauge Refuse Sack
We’ve redesigned the gusset depth on many of our products to increase packaging efficiency and environmental performance without altering the bag’s strength or capacity.
Key improvements include:
- 12.5% reduction in carton weight
- 20% increase in pallet quantities
- Fewer shipments and less packaging waste
- Lower carbon emissions per order
This small change to our award-nominated refuse sack is a big win for sustainability, proving once again that minor adjustments can deliver major value.
Compostable Liners with Rapid-ID Design
As compostable waste sacks continue to grow in popularity, clear identification is more important than ever. That’s why we’ve refreshed the design of our EN13432-certified compostable liners.
The updated print includes:
- Clear instructions for food and organic waste
- Official certification and composting logos
- Visual clarity to support BBIA’s new rapid ID system
This refresh not only helps reduce confusion and contamination at recycling facilities—it also helps customers feel confident they’re using a truly certified compostable product. It’s the same high standard, with a sharper, smarter look.
