Our Ethical Values
OFFERING ETHICAL PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
At Meridian Speciality Packaging, our commitment to packaging extends beyond sustainability.
As a packaging manufacturer, we know we have a bigger responsibility than most to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment, whether this is our contribution to combating climate change, reducing our carbon footprint, and making greener choices for future generations. That’s why for us, sustainability goes hand in hand with taking care of the environment, our people, suppliers and our customers.
In a world filled with overconsumption and mounting waste, urgent action is needed. Our oceans are overwhelmed by plastic pollution, while landfills strain under the weight of non-biodegradable materials, posing significant challenges to our planet’s health.
As a trusted packaging supplier, we recognize the profound responsibility we hold in driving transformative change. Through our eco-friendly packaging solutions, we wholeheartedly embrace our role in spearheading a collective movement towards a net-zero future.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROMISE
Meridian is proud to announce our unwavering commitment to reducing waste and embracing ethically sourced materials. With a focus on minimising our carbon footprint, we have been diligently evaluating our packaging offerings, seeking opportunities for positive change.
As part of our dedication to sustainability, we have set a bold goal: to transition to a ‘PVC and Solvent Free’ approach by the end of 2024. As part of this commitment, we prioritise the use of materials with a minimum of 50% recycled content from post-consumer waste.
Furthermore, our prestigious FSC certification serves as a testament to our unwavering environmental dedication.
MAKING A POWERFUL IMPACT WITH OUR FSC® CERTIFICATION
More than half of the paper used globally is for packaging (carton board). These materials must be sourced from ethically responsible forests.
Not only is the FSC-certified board ethical, but sustainable forestry is also one of the most effective means to mitigate climate change.
When you order FSC packaging from Meridian, you can rest easy knowing your packaging comes from an FSC-certified source monitored through their rigorous chain of custody.
In the pursuit of a sustainable future, we must shift our mindset from waste management to waste prevention. True innovation lies in designing products and systems that eliminate the notion of waste.
ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING CHOICES
We believe that sustainability is key to building a greener future. That’s why we offer a variety of high-quality, environmentally responsible packaging solutions.
From ethically sourced materials to recyclable and biodegradable options, our packaging actively contributes to reducing waste and protecting our planet.

POWERING CHANGE
In our continued pursuit of emission reduction, we have made significant strides by installing solar panels across our premises. This eco-conscious initiative saves over 20,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting more than 1,000 trees.
Our commitment to safeguarding the planet extends beyond installations. We continuously invest in greener production processes and sustainable equipment, ensuring our operations align with our environmental values.
