BRC Packaging
BRCGS is a standard for food safety. The standard describes the hygiene and food safety requirements for food processing companies that supply directly to the retail sector. You can also think of packaging materials for foodstuffs.
Together with you, we’re celebrating a special milestone: for more than a decade, we have been supplying our non-food customers with packaging buckets made from 100% recycled plastic. What started as a pioneering initiative has now become our standard.
Since the launch of the first model (in collaboration with Forbo Eurocol) nearly every non-food customer have made the switch to this sustainable type of packaging bucket. The great thing about this bucket, made from 100% recycled plastic, is that the production of it results on more than 50% less CO₂ emission, compared to a bucket made from virgin plastic.
The most sustainable producer of packaging buckets in Europe
Day after day, we pursue our mission to be the most sustainable producer of plastic packaging buckets in Europe. That’s why we’re not letting a milestone like this go by unnoticed. It certainly deserves a small celebration! Here’s to the next 10 years of creating a circular plastic packaging industry.

The FSSC 22000 Standard has been created through Stichting Certificatie Voedselveiligheid (SCV). As a food-oriented version of the ISO 22000 Standard, this certification programme has been set up as a global guideline in food safety and quality within various industries. This standard is aimed at the entire production chain and as such, it is ideally suited for international harmonisation, partly thanks to the recognition by the GFSI. In addition to its connection with ISO 22000, the FSSC 22000 has many comparisons with the HACCP criteria, making it an attractive variant with the best of both worlds from these programmes. Thanks to the internationally accepted nature of the FSSC and the chain-wide approach within this certification programme, we recognise a strong food safety management system in this standard.
