Aquapak, based in Birmingham, is pioneering the development of new adaptive polymer-based materials for packaging. Their flagship product, Hydropol, a biodegradable and marine safe polymer plays a key role in improving recyclability and compostability, offering scalable solutions to the challenges faced by major consumer brands in the Circular Economy. Hydropol is produced in the UK and shipped globally, empowering businesses to transition towards sustainable packaging options.

“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Aquapak for another two years,” says Edward Pigg, Managing Director at Axil. “This continued collaboration allows us to drive even greater progress in waste reduction and environmental performance. Together, we are making significant strides toward a sustainable, circular economy.”

It is vitally important therefore that we strive towards continuous improvement and Net Zero in our own operation too, and we’re confident that our partnership with Axil will help us achieve this.”
