Packaging Materials & Recycling Guide

At SAPPHIRE, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our packaging and helping our customers dispose of packaging responsibly.

This page provides information about the packaging materials used across SAPPHIRE’s product portfolio. The information is provided to support the requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

Reducing Packaging Waste

We continually review our packaging to minimise material use while ensuring our products remain adequately protected during transportation and storage. Where possible, we improve the sustainability of our packaging through efficient design, responsible material selection and increased recyclability.

How to Recycle Our Packaging

Separate each packaging component by material before disposal.

Paper and cardboard

Recycle through your local paper and cardboard collection:

  • Retail gift boxes
  • Corrugated shipping cartons
  • Cardboard inserts

Plastic packaging

Where suitable recycling facilities exist, recycle:

  • Protective plastic bags
  • Expanded polyethylene (EPE) protective foam

If these materials are not accepted by your local recycling scheme, dispose of them in accordance with your local authority's waste management guidance.

Packaging Re-use

Unless otherwise stated, SAPPHIRE packaging is designed primarily to protect products during transportation, storage and distribution. Where no re-use instructions are provided, we recommend separating the packaging by material and recycling each component through the appropriate local collection scheme wherever possible.

Additional Information

Collection and recycling arrangements vary between countries and municipalities. Always follow the guidance provided by your local authority.

Packaging materials may change as our products evolve. This page will be updated where significant changes occur.
