By partnering with Hotpack, Spinneys demonstrates its dedication to reducing plastic waste and promoting the circularity of plastics in the retail consumer sector.


Hotpack's collaboration with Spinneys has resulted in the creation of shopping bags manufactured entirely from 100 per cent PCR resins. These bags not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also boast outstanding functionality, with the capacity to carry weights of up to 10 kilograms.

We applaud Hotpack's dedication to producing sustainable packaging solutions and look forward to continuing our partnership in driving positive change within the retail industry.'
To ensure the highest standards of quality and environmental responsibility, the PCR resins used in the production of these shopping bags are certified by Global Recycling Standards. This certification guarantees that the materials utilized in the manufacturing process meet rigorous criteria for sustainability and contribute to the reduction of plastic waste.


Hotpack's PCR shopping bags for Spinneys serve as a testament to the company's ongoing efforts to revolutionize the packaging industry. By prioritizing sustainability, Hotpack aims to inspire other retailers and consumers to adopt eco-friendly alternatives and join the movement towards a greener and more sustainable future.
