Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) delivered a “final warning” as the climate crisis officially reached “a code red for humanity.” With the retail sector producing over 800,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually, suppliers and retailers should look to ways they can safeguard the transition towards greener practice, tailoring their product offerings to reflect this.

With the UK government’s target to achieve zero avoidable plastic waste by 2042 in mind, at Harrison, we are making a conscious effort to offer our customers more sustainable alternatives to our existing product line in an attempt to reduce our plastic production.

Double-Sided Adhesive Glue Dot Discs

Our Double-Sided Adhesive Discs are a sustainable alternative to our Adhesive Data Strips, ideal for mounting posters to lightweight signage, as well as shelf-edge labels (SELs) to free standing display units (FSDUs). Measuring 22mm in diameter and with a finger lift tab release, retailers simply need to remove the disk from the roll before affixing it to displays. Suitable for attachment onto various materials and surfaces, they offer a versatile and hassle-free mounting alternative, with a permanent adhesive on one side and a residue-free temporary adhesive on the other to avoid marking shelving.

Ecovision® Cardboard Corr-A-Clips

Temporary point of sale (TPOS) printers often opt for Plastic Corr-A-Clip components to strengthen FSDU shelving for displaying heavier products . Despite the benefit it presents to the strength of the unit, if not disposed of correctly, it limits the FSDUs recyclability at the end of its life cycle. More often than not, retailers do not invest the time into removing the plastic Corr-A-Clip before disposing of the unit, leaving it subject to general waste disposal.

Completely unique to Harrison, our Ecovision Cardboard Corr-A-Clip has revolutionised the disposal process of FSDUs. Made of completely natural fibres, our Ecovision® Corr-A-Clip is fully recyclable, meaning it can be disposed of in the same recycling stream as the cardboard FSDU it is attached to. Our patented design innovatively uses curves to increase strength and stability for added reliability and longevity.

Ecovision® Cardboard Euro Slot Hang Tabs

Also made with our signature Ecovision® cardboard, our Ecovision® Cardboard Euro Slot Hang Tabs provide a simple solution to hanging on-the-go products such as packets of sweets without the need for their own Euro-Slot. Equipped with an adhesive backing, no additional tape or glue is required. Retailers are then able to hang their products from Clip Strips or Display Hooks efficiently.

Our green promise

As part of our drive towards sustainability, not only do we reflect this in our creation of Ecovision® and offering of alternative display solutions but also in our sponsorship of two green initiative charities: One Tree Planted, focused on global reforestation and The Ocean Cleanup, dedicated to developing and scaling technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.
