Paint protection business Supagard and its retailer partners have good reasons to celebrate in 2023. The Glasgow-based company marks its 35th birthday this year and, in a display of its commitment to continuous improvement, it is claiming another segment first -new, sustainable packaging that will help customers to reduce their environmental footprints. "It was an important, although not easy, thing to do," said James Smyth, technical director at the company which was the motor industry's first paint and fabric protection provider when it launched in 1988. Because of the difficulties involved in recycling black plastics effectively, many end up in landfill and that meant that Supagard's directors had to agree on a major step: the decision to change its historic black-coloured bottles to new silver ones which can be easily recycled. The new bottles, which will be rolled out to clients through this year, enhance Supagard's sustainable credentials further by themselves being manufactured from 40% recycled plastics. |
