Booths On-The-Go Wrap Packaging
Booths, the award-winning sustainable retailer based in the North of England, are continually enhancing their environmental credentials. Booths wanted to re-package their range of on the go food wraps; they were looking for an environmentally friendly solution that would contribute towards better sustainability of their food packaging.
