Bowers Group transitions to sustainable packaging

Bowers Group is proud to announce a major step forward in its sustainability journey with the introduction of new eco-friendly and fully recyclable packaging cases for its range of Bowers branded products. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental footprint and achieving ‘net zero’ emissions.

Bowers Group’s managing director Martin Hawkins said: “Bowers Group has always been a pioneer in delivering high-quality metrology solutions, and this shift to sustainable packaging is a natural extension of the company’s ethos of striving for excellence. By choosing to move into more sustainable packing cases, we are setting a standard in the precision measurement industry and encouraging environmentally conscious practices throughout our processes. It is a project that I am particularly proud of and I thank the team for their hard work in getting us here.”

The move to the new, sustainable cases is a key part of Bowers Group’s broader sustainability strategy and journey to ‘net zero’. Made from a composite material containing approximately 70% renewable resources, including glucose, natural waxes, minerals, and fibres, these cases significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote circular material cycles through full recyclability. By adopting this eco-conscious packaging, the company is strengthening its commitment to lowering carbon emissions, reducing waste, and contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing industry.

In addition to its eco-friendly packaging, Bowers Group is reducing paper waste by replacing printed documentation with QR code access on box labels. This allows customers to instantly view QuickStart instructions and product information digitally. As part of Bowers Group’s long-term plan to achieve net zero by 2050, every aspect of the business is being evaluated for opportunities to minimise environmental impact. The shift to sustainable packaging represents a key action point within the company’s green strategy, aligning packaging solutions with sustainable practices while maintaining high standards for product protection and customer satisfaction.
