2M Group of Companies, has launched a new packaging focused business unit, Sustainable Packaging Technologies, to promote its growing portfolio of biomaterial technologies.
Leveraging the expertise from 2M Group’s materials sciences company, Banner Chemicals, Sustainable Packaging Technologies will enable brands to meet the growing consumer demand for bio-based packaging, offering ‘plug and play’ replacements for traditional plastic across a wide range of consumer products. Led by Business Unit Head, James Nelson, Sustainable Packaging Technologies is headquartered at its manufacturing site in Milton Keynes.
The company’s mission is to build a portfolio of biomaterial technologies and solutions that can be integrated into existing packaging manufacturing processes utilising 2M Group and Banner Chemical’s extensive network, knowledge and resources.
Sustainable Packaging Technologies has been supported by strategic partnerships and investments from both Innovate UK and SSPP Government funding, enabling the business to scale up sustainable technologies that are both environmentally and commercially conscious.
As part of its portfolio, 2M Group of Companies is the exclusive licence partner to deploy Xampla’s Morro™ Coating in Europe. The plastic-free material, made from natural plant polymers, is fully biodegradable and can be recycled in existing waste streams.
