At W H Skinner, we are committed to offering high-quality, eco-friendly cardboard packaging that meets both your business needs and your sustainability goals. As a family-run business with over 20 years of experience, we understand the importance of:
Our dedication to sustainability is reflected not just in the materials we use but also in our production processes, making us a trusted partner for businesses looking to make greener choices.
1. 100% Recyclable and Sustainable Materials
Our cardboard packaging is crafted from fully recyclable materials, ensuring that your packaging can be reused or recycled into new products. This supports a circular economy, reducing waste and conserving natural resources. All our cardboard is sourced from mills that are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) regulated, guaranteeing that the raw materials come from sustainably managed forests. For every tree harvested, new trees are planted, ensuring environmental balance and biodiversity are maintained.
Our eco-friendly packaging isn’t just recyclable—it’s also biodegradable and compostable. This means that, in the unlikely event it ends up in a landfill, it will break down naturally, leaving no harmful residues behind. This is a great choice for businesses that are serious about reducing their carbon footprint and dependency on non-renewable materials like plastic.
Various Sizes and Styles: Dispenser boxes are available in a range of sizes and styles to accommodate different types of products. Whether you need to dispense tissues, wipes, gloves, or small parts, we can create a suitable dispenser box for your needs.
Customisable Design: These boxes can be customised with branding, logos, and other designs to enhance their visual appeal and provide a professional look.
We tailor our packaging to your exact needs, which reduces excess material and unnecessary waste. Whether you’re shipping fragile products, creating retail packaging, or designing point-of-sale displays, we ensure your packaging is both efficient and eco-friendly. Our bespoke solutions also help lower shipping costs, as lighter and more compact packages reduce transport emissions.
Cardboard is already one of the most eco-friendly packaging options available, requiring less energy to produce than plastic or metal alternatives. By choosing our eco-friendly cardboard, you’re not only reducing the environmental impact of production but also contributing to a lower carbon footprint across the entire lifecycle of the product—from manufacture to disposal.
User-Friendly: The intuitive design of our dispenser boxes enhances the user experience by providing quick and easy access to the products inside.
Professional Presentation: Our designs allow businesses to present their products in a visually appealing and professional manner, enhancing brand perception.
A key part of our sustainability efforts is our partnership with one of the UK’s first integrated energy companies to generate 100% green electricity. This partnership allows us to source all our energy needs from renewable resources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. By powering our entire manufacturing process with green electricity, we significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower our overall carbon emissions.
– Zero Carbon Emissions: The energy we use is generated entirely from renewable sources, producing zero carbon emissions during generation.
– Sustainable Operations: By using clean energy, we support the transition to a low-carbon economy, reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
– Energy Independence: Sourcing renewable energy helps reduce dependency on non-renewable energy sources, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient energy system in the UK.
Sustainability at W H Skinner extends beyond energy use.

For every tree harvested, new trees are planted, guaranteeing long-term forest health and biodiversity.
– Sustainable Forestry: We source materials from forests that are responsibly managed, ensuring long-term ecological balance.
– Carbon Offset: Sustainable forestry practices help absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, playing a key role in the fight against climate change.
