Hygiene Products workplace culture that supports personal and professional development . We ’ re also striving to standardize our processes and procedures across the group , including our systems from ERP and warehouse management to automated labelling , to name just a few .”
Aside from internal investment , Northwood also prides itself on collaboration . “ It is essential for us to develop strategic partnerships with our key suppliers , such as United Tissue Converting , where we collectively share knowledge of how to further improve and innovate to meet current and future market demands ,” Peter explains . “ A key example of this is plastic reduction . We maintain close relationships with polythene suppliers to maximize the post-consumer recycled ( PCR ) content and work with our corrugated suppliers for product alternatives . “ We now produce polythene with up to
75 percent PCR content , and we ’ re looking
at replacing most of our plastic packaging with corrugated boxes instead . We ’ re also reducing secondary plastic by transporting products on pallets using interlayer sheets , as well as collaborating with equipment manufacturers to find new methods of packaging without plastic .”
Turning to the future , Peter concludes : “ Our priority for 2025 is to further embed our guiding principles , continuously improve each business stream , and further invest in our equipment and people . We ’ re an ambitious company looking to grow our market share as we continue to effectively service our customers , build collaborative partnerships , and maximize our contribution not only to our group but to the economy and wider society .” ■
