Sustainability in food packaging isn’t just about swapping plastic for paper. Today, distributors and their customers expect a packaging partner that thinks bigger — optimising the entire supply chain to reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance or cost.
GM Food Packaging takes a whole-system approach, delivering sustainability at every touchpoint: sourcing, design, warehousing, and delivery.
Smarter Sourcing, Lower Carbon Footprint
Our global packaging supply chain spans India, Turkey, China, and the EU — but it’s not built on chasing the lowest price. GM makes sourcing decisions that balance ethics, carbon impact, and logistical efficiency.
We vet every partner for ethical labour practices, reduce emissions through optimised routing, and prioritise manufacturers who align with our environmental standards. Our use of Sedex and EcoVadis frameworks ensures transparency and accountability across the supply chain. For distributors, that means less reputational risk — and more alignment with customers’ ESG and CSR goals.
Packaging Design That Does More with Less
It’s not just the material — it’s how smartly it’s used. GM helps food packaging distributors offer space-efficient, high-performance formats that reduce transport bulk, improve stacking, and preserve food quality.
Whether it’s heat-retentive containers for grab-and-go dining or lightweight trays designed for efficient palletisation, our packaging supports reduced waste and greater operational efficiency. Less bulk. Fewer lorry journeys. Lower costs and carbon.
Lean Warehousing and Low-Waste Logistics
Warehousing and transport are often sustainability blind spots. At GM, they’re optimised for both efficiency and impact.
From our BRCGS AA-certified warehouse, we offer both “pick-and-pack” and full pallet distribution, enabling just-in-time delivery with minimal waste. Our hybrid logistics model helps food packaging distributors reduce over-ordering, cut fuel usage, and streamline delivery schedules. With GM, every part of the packaging journey works smarter.
Sustainability You Can Prove and Sell
Today’s buyers demand more than a compostable logo. They want proof of performance — and sustainability that runs deeper than just materials.
GM gives distributors the data, traceability, and confidence to position their packaging offer as a strategic ESG win. That makes it easier to win tenders, reassure procurement teams, and strengthen long-term relationships with foodservice and hospitality customers.
