During the event, James Cropper, which provides papers and packaging for different brands across many sectors, will have the chance to showcase the products it has manufactured for Lush, Floral Street, GF Smith and Selfridges. All of the products that will be presented at the exhibition are fully recyclable with household paper and naturally biodegradable.
Selfridges and GF Smith both use its CupCycling technology, a recycling process that turns takeaway cups into papers. For the British department stores chain, James Cropper has provided a closed-loop system that enables Selfridges to recycle cups from its food halls and offices and reuse it to create its iconic yellow shopping bag. GF Smith partnered with James Cropper to create a range of papers recycled from 8oz cups.
Meanwhile, Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics used the papermaker’s 3D Products to create ethically-sourced packaging that can either be reused, recycled or composted. The two brands used James Cropper’s Colourform fibre to create a package for Lush’s solid bath oils from 100 % recycled coffee cup fibre.
Fragrance brand Floral Street also cooperated with James Cropper to develop a sustainable, green-friendly box made of 100% natural wood fibres.
