Innovation and New Product Development

At Waddington® Europe we feel that we can influence the plastic agenda in the UK and Europe by developing product solutions that are best suited to their applications. This means optimising plastic weight, protecting food from unnecessary waste and ensuring the consumer experience is memorable for the right reasons.

Our in house design, development and technical facilities mean we can build partnerships with our customers and suppliers to bring this aspiration to reality and move the dial on consumer perception of plastics in packaging. 

We innovate by encompassing food safety and environmental policies, engineering constraints, weight optimisation and aesthetics into every pack to ensure best practice across the value chain for your packaging requirements.
