04 Jan 2022 --- Sirane is opening up a new manufacturing site in the Czech Republic to answer growing consumer demand for environmentally sustainable packaging, such as recyclable and plastic-free solutions, in Central and Eastern Europe. With the new site launching in February, the UK-based biodegradable packaging specialist is planning to manufacture an increasing amount of its products for this region in the Czech Republic.Sirane Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is located in Hranice, a town in eastern Czech Republic with proximity to Poland and Slovakia. The new branch will be the company’s fifth site, having established locations in the UK, Russia, Mexico and South Africa. The company’s marketing manager Mark Lingard tells PackagingInsights: “Central and Eastern Europe is no different to the rest of Europe in the sense that [environmentally] sustainable packaging is certainly at the forefront of people’s thinking and becoming increasingly important.” “We supply packaging and try to encourage our customers to take compostable or plastic-free where possible.”
