Listen to what people are saying about SharpTek

The cushion at the bottom of the punnet does a fantastic job at cushioning our raspberries. At the end of the day, all we want is for our raspberries to look great when they get to the shelf.

Ben Norman

Commercial Manager at WB Chambers Ltd.

We’ve worked hard to make SharpTek as sustainable as possible. For the grower and packer, it runs on the lines really easily. For the retailer, it reduces packaging and packaging weight. For the consumer, you can throw it into the recycled bin. As a company we’re always innovating. Now we have SharpTek and we’re still working on what’s next, to increase the recyclability of our product and do our bit on sustainability.
