(e.g.: natural, lower carbon, recycled).\n•\tWhile some of our packaging is already recyclable – and some packaging is inherent to the product proposition, we are also interested in the feasibility of customers reusing or recycling individual packaging items.\n#4 Showcase Ambitions & Innovations\n•\tWe have started trialling on-pack messaging to highlight specific product innovations and wider sustainability ambitions at The Royal Mint however we would be interested in options to further incorporate these mar-comms opportunities into our packaging solutions (without comprising ambition #2)\nNext Steps\nWith the above in mind, The Royal Mint has issued this prior information notice to raise awareness of our intentions to approach the market in what will be undoubtedly be a thorough and comprehensive tender process. We will now enter a phase of exploratory work, undertaking market research that will enable The Royal Mint to formulate a tender that we intend to release to the market in Quarter 1 of 2024."
