Eco Flexibles secures BRC Food Safety Grade AA certification

Eco Flexibles has secured Grade AA certification in the British Retail Consortium Global Food Safety Standard audit. 

This certification, globally recognized as the gold standard for food safety, strengthens Eco Flexibles’ position as an end-to-end partner in the food packaging supply chain. The certification process examines over 300 operational points, including hygiene protocols, quality control, safety standards and production efficiency.

This comes during a period of growth for Eco Flexibles, which has recently expanded its production facility and enhanced its capabilities with dual Fujifilm Jet Press FP790 digital press installations and Karlville Swiss pouching machines. The food safety certification complements the company's existing BRC packaging certifications, where it has maintained Grade AA status for three consecutive years.

David Smith, general manager at Eco Flexibles, commented: 'Securing BRC Grade AA certification for food safety is another a significant milestone in our journey. As we continue to grow and evolve our business, it shows how we’re maintaining the highest possible standards across every single aspect of our operations. In an industry where quality and consistency are vital, this recognition shows we're delivering excellence at every level.

'While our focus is on revolutionizing the flexible packaging market through sustainable innovation, this certification proves we match this with exemplary operational standards. It's a powerful combination that enables us to serve as a true end-to-end partner for our food industry brand customers.'

The certification, recognized by 70 percent of the top 10 global retailers, provides additional assurance to brands partnering with Eco Flexibles for their transition to recyclable mono-material and paper-based packaging. Combined with the company's existing BRC accreditations, it reinforces Eco Flexibles' strength as a comprehensive packaging partner across the entire supply chain.
