OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
PACKAGING & PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY

JSP APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
- JSP hold regular packaging review meetings to discuss sustainable packaging. There is representation from all JSP Departments to ensure the right approach is taken to ensure Product Lifecycle Management is met
- JSP holds regular reviews to redesign existing packaging to be more sustainable

- Reduction in the amount of plastic in bags by using thinner and smaller/closer fitting bags
- Introduction of paper recycled bags on some production lines by late 2021
JSP - ELIMINATION OF SINGLE USE PLASTICS
Where possible JSP ensure plastic packaging is reusable by being resealable and therefore used as a storage unit as stipulated by the PPE regulation, to take care of the item of PPE in order to protect it, keep it dry and free from dust. For example the
Force®8 Half-Mask and
Sonis® range of Ear Defenders. This also prolongs lifespan of the product when PPE is stored correctly.
- Removal of plastic bags and use of tissue paper to protect logos on Helmet ranges
- Redesign of existing packaging to become a storage units so bag is reusable
- JSP offer a PPE Bag for life to ensure product is protected in the bag as a storage unit and to increase the life of product
