What Makes Our Postal Tubes Sustainable?

Every postal tube we produce is carefully designed with the environment in mind, from the materials we choose to the way we manufacture, pack and recycle.

Here’s what sets our tubes apart as a smarter, greener packaging choice.

100% Reclaimed Fibreboard

Every postal tube is made from recycled kraft paper sourced from sustainably managed forests.

Water-Based Adhesives

We use non-toxic, biodegradable PVA glue that’s safe for the environment and clean in production.

Low-Waste manufacturing

We minimise waste by recycling offcuts back into the supply chain through pulp mills.

Fully recyclable & biodegradable

Our fibreboard tubes break down naturally or can be fully recycled, with optional plastic or tucked ends.

The tubes will be formed and glued using water-based PVA emulsion glue or similar.
All waste produced in the manufacturing process will be segregated with waste cardboard material being bailed to return into the supply chain via a pulp mill.
All other dry waste which is not recyclable will be disposed of under license by a designated waste disposal operator.
No Liquid waste will be produced during the manufacturing process.
Staff will make every effort to ensure that waste is kept to a minimum during the manufacturing process and management will oversee an efficient production pattern to ensure changeover waste is kept to a minimum.
Where possible consumable packaging will be recycled unless the item is no longer serviceable at which point Essex Tube Windings Ltd will dispose of the packaging via a sustainable route where possible.

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the products we offer as well as our processes.
