Manufacturing Partners

Aquapak aims to be the partner of choice for environmental packaging for the packaging manufacturers for the major brands and retailers. It works in collaboration with the brands and retailers, and packaging manufacturers to design circular economy solutions to replace single use plastic packaging. This collaboration aims at using existing manufacturing infrastructure, wherever possible, and finding end of life solutions which fit into current waste re-processing streams.

Materials Partners

We’ve collaborated with DS Smith to develop sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions to replace single-use, hard-to-recycle plastic using Hydropol™ polymer.
