The material used across the food range – from 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and 12.55kg bags and 500gr,1kg and 2kg pouches – is polyethylene single source polymer laminate, a structure which is easy to recycle as it can be re-granulated back into its original form. Furthermore, it also protects the integrity of the elements inside each bag.

It is estimated that over 15 million packs of bird food, largely from unrecyclable materials, are sold in the UK every year.  We at Henry Bell wanted to develop a design that was both eye-catching but also mindful of the environment.
