Pioneering Progress: Aegg’s Commitment to Carbon Reduction Earns Prestigious Recognition

We are delighted to announce that Aegg has been selected as one of only two finalists within the Entrepreneurial Business of the Year category of the 2025 UK Packaging Awards! The award recognises packaging suppliers that have combined outstanding financial, business, and production performance.

Significant boost in storage capacity and logistics to support customer growth

Aegg is thrilled to announce the expansion of its UK warehousing operations with the addition of a brand new 23,000 sq ft facility in Eye, Suffolk. This milestone brings Aegg’s total to four UK warehouses—three strategically located across Suffolk and one in Scotland—offering a combined space exceeding 150,000 sq ft.

As part of our overall sustainability programme and objectives, Aegg aligns its sustainability efforts with seven UN Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDG’s) with a particular focus on those related to emissions, innovation and social and community impact.

As Aegg continues to expand, we welcome an experienced Technical Engineering Manager to the team, Alper Karairmak, to support the growth of the company through the continued supply of high-quality glass packaging products and relationships with manufacturing partners.          

What is SBTi?

The Science-Based Targets initiative offers companies a clear, actionable path to align greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions with the latest climate science, which is deemed necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.  This is currently to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and achieve Net Zero by 2050. SBTi has developed global standards, tools, guidance, and target validation.  Thousands of businesses worldwide are already involved, and Aegg is delighted to join them.

We are delighted to announce that Aegg Creative Packaging has taken a major step towards our sustainability goals by signing up for the TotalEnergies Pure Green tariff.
