Dr Poulter was delighted to visit local business, Frugalpac, and to hear and see first-hand the outstanding innovative work they are doing with the “Frugal Bottle”, which is rapidly being adopted by the international market. The “Frugal Bottle” is a fully recyclable cardboard wine bottle, which is more cost effective and offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to a traditional glass wine bottle. Whilst both are recyclable, the cardboard option has a significantly lower carbon footprint and I am delighted to see such a fantastic example of Great British innovation and engineering thriving here in Suffolk.
During the visit Dr Poulter met with CEO, Malcolm Waugh, who introduced him to the company's new products, before discussing exciting plans for the future of the company, the market they have in Europe and the new products that in development.
