Looking to go plastic-free?

If you're looking to go plastic-free, BlueSky offers alternative packaging materials, including aluminium – a permanently available and infinitely recyclable resource.

Our selection of aluminium bottles extends from petite capacities through to a whopping 1 litre size, with curved or angled shoulders and various neck options so that you can match the pack with the best closures.

Our stylish and attractive range of premium, luxury finish aluminium jars are ideal for packaging a wide range of products including lip balms, candles, beard balms, waxes, solid fragrances and sweets, and range in size from 10ml size with a 36mm diameter up to a 250ml option with a 90mm diameter.

We’re also happy to help you develop 100% recyclable packs, including matching recyclable bottles with suitable closures, such as mono-material lotion pumps.

From 1st April 2025, the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) will increase from £217.85 per tonne to £223.69 per tonne, in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

This tax applies to plastic packaging that contains less than 30% recycled content. It forms part of the UK government’s ongoing efforts to incentivise the use of recycled materials in packaging and reduce reliance on virgin plastic. We’ve prepared a helpful guide for you – available here.

How BlueSky Supports You

• We handle all PPT compliance and reporting.
• Plastic packaging weights will be included on your delivery notes and invoices.
• Where the tax applies, the cost is automatically included in your price.
• If your packaging includes 30%+ PCR or is exported outside the UK, no tax will be charged.
• If you’re packing licensed pharmaceutical products, please ensure we have your licence numbers in advance – otherwise, the tax may apply.
