Traceability

  Traceability is, as the word implies, the ability to trace the history
  of a material or an article from the retail stage back to its point of
  manufacture, identifying all appropriate data about its origin.

  A European directive requires us to reduce the weight of
  packaging so the production of light-weight materials, like that of
  reaching the maximum targets for rates of recovery and recycling,
  is one of our aims.
  The level of heavy metals we use is far below that stipulated by
  the same Directive.

  With regard to Hygiene and Contact with Food, R&D has
  developed a high degree of expertise in the application of Good
  Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the Hygiene Code.

We also have up-to-date technical equipment to deal with customers’ queries about such things as product migration, risk management, odours, toxic substances, etc.
Certificates are issued by R&D to those operatives who are in direct contact with our customers.
