Thank you to Packaging Scotland for reporting on this important issue.

At Beatson Clark, we recognise that many companies have concerns about the pEPR scheme, and we are actively working to support our customers through these changes. We have been collaborating closely with our MP, Sarah Champion, to raise these concerns with the government, and we are continuing our lightweighting efforts to help reduce material use and costs.

We are confident that positive change is coming, and hope the following article provides reassurance that choosing glass packaging over less sustainable materials remains the best long-term option for businesses.

🎄 Christmas Jumper Day 2025 at Beatson Clark 🎄

Thank you to everyone at Beatson Clark who took part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day yesterday. It was great to see so many colleagues getting involved, donating to the charity, and bringing a bit of festive cheer to the workplace.

Save the Children provides life-changing support for children living through poverty, conflict, and crisis across the globe, offering access to education, healthcare, nutritious food, and protection. Donations from Christmas Jumper Day help make this work possible.

We’re delighted to announce that Beatson Clark has donated a large collection of toys to the Rotherham Christmas Toy Appeal, through our Colleague Community Engagement Fund. 🎁

Our Human Resources Advisor, Charlotte Lax, applied for funding to buy toys for the campaign, and her application was selected as one of four winners in our annual draw.

Last week, volunteers from the charity, along with Stewart Nicholson from Rotherham Radio, visited Beatson Clark’s office to collect the toys, ready to be shared with local families in need.

The Rotherham Christmas Toy Appeal, run by Rotherham Families First, is the area's longest-running festive toy initiative. Working closely with schools, social services, and local charities, the appeal ensures that every child in Rotherham wakes up to a gift on Christmas morning. Last year, the campaign supported more than 2,250 children, helping families who might otherwise struggle during the festive season. 🎄❤️

We’re proud to support such a meaningful local cause, helping spread a little extra joy across the community this Christmas.

✨ Wishing everyone a magical holiday season!✨

The UK’s new packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) scheme is having an unintended consequence: some brands are moving away from glass in favour of plastic or aluminium to avoid disproportionate fees.

In the latest article on our website we explain why brands should wait before switching their packaging material.

Nick Kirk, Federation Director at British Glass, joins us in predicting that the pEPR fee for glass will come down, and therefore urges brands not to switch from glass to other materials just yet.

British Glass and Beatson Clark are urging brands to not make hasty material switches, predicting that the pEPR fee for glass will fall once actual collection and recycling costs are fully understood.

As November draws to a close this weekend, so does the charity fund-raising month of Movember!

Movember funds projects that improve men's health, and a group of employees from Beatson Clark raised money for the charity by walking round Manvers Lake near Rotherham - complete with some fake moustaches!

Thanks to match funding from Beatson Clark's Colleague Community Engagement Fund, they managed to raise an amazing £300 for Movember.

Everyone enjoyed the walk so much the group are planning to make it a regular event just for the fun and the fresh air!

A unique glass container which we've designed and manufactured has been featured on the Packaging News website.

Functional drinks brand UNROOTED Drinks asked us to create a new bespoke 420ml multi-dose glass bottle for their products, which are made from the super-healthy fruit of the baobab tree.

It makes UNROOTED the first functional drinks brand to offer a multi-dose format in glass, arguably the healthiest form of packaging!

There are only six weeks until Christmas! But there’s still time for you to buy your Christmas cards…

Why not support a local charity this year and buy some unique Christmas cards hand-drawn by a young artist and entrepreneur?

Fourteen-year-old Charlotte Oram volunteers for Rotherham Families First, and for the last four years she’s hand drawn Christmas cards to raise money for the charity’s Rotherham Toy Appeal.

The appeal is a wonderful fundraising initiative supporting families who can't provide gifts for their children at Christmas.

To support Charlotte and help her to reach her target of £800 we’re selling her charity Christmas cards to staff and visitors in our reception area on Greasbrough Road in Rotherham.

Please support Charlotte by buying some of her cards and spreading the word around Rotherham about this amazing charity initiative by an inspirational young lady!

A pack of three cards costs £2.50 and a pack of two money wallets costs £1.50.

If you can support the Rotherham Toy Appeal, please consider donating new, unwrapped toys suitable for various age groups.

Our photo shows Charlotte meeting the Mayor of Rotherham, Councillor Rukhsana Ismail.

Keep up the good work Charlotte!
