Inspired by the profound impact of plastic pollution showcased in documentaries like Blue Planet, Managing Director Natalie felt a responsibility to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. In response to this environmental call-to-action, EGI was born, envisioned as an eco-friendly moulded fibre packaging alternative to plastic.
As a business, we are firmly committed to environmental stewardship. Given the current climate crisis, it is important to act now to mitigate the harmful impact of plastic, particularly single-use plastics like packaging, on the environment. By creating products made from waste materials such as recycled paper and cardboard, we can reduce our environmental impact and promote a circular economy. Additionally, regardless of how the packaging is disposed of — whether recycled, composted, or sent to landfill — its natural biodegradability ensures minimal harm to the planet, supporting responsible consumption for businesses and consumers alike.
EGI recognises that although our products are crafted from waste cardboard, trees were originally harvested to create this material. With this awareness, both as a company and as individuals, we are continually striving to enrich the natural environment. One of the ways we balance this is through a rewilding project.
Sustainability is a shared responsibility, and at EGI, we consistently take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Currently, all our products are manufactured in the UK and stored within 30 minutes from our manufacturer; significantly lowering transportation-related carbon emissions. We regularly review the environmental impact of our business practices to streamline procedures and minimise waste. EGI is committed to ongoing adaptations for a more sustainable business model while delivering products that contribute to your sustainability goals.
