PPS East appoints Icelandic agent

PPS East, which supplies returnable plastic fish boxes for the seafood industry, has appointed IceBox Company ehf as its new agent in Iceland to support increasing demand for its products and washing services.

Grimsby-based PPS East has continued to expand its operations with Icelandic producers.

PPS retrieves used plastic fish boxes from UK processors, hygienically washing them at its new Grimsby site, before introducing them back into the process cycle.

Kate Williamson, of PPS East, said: “There is a fast growing trend with the UK and European seafood processors to insist on the use of returnable packaging to receive their fish.

“The major retailers are closely examining waste practices within the supply chain and have concluded that the use of returnable packaging to replace single use options, contributes significantly towards an improvement in their carbon footprint.

“We are delighted to be working in partnership with IceBox Company ehf who has warehousing and office facilities in Reykjavik that will provide support for internal distribution and full customer services to the Icelandic market.”
