The 'top' label guarantees a concrete commitment to the reduction of energy consumption and use of 'clean' energies in the manufacturing process, and certifies that 100% of CO2 emissions generated during manufacture.

Anne Seznec, marketing manager, said: "For a while now the trade has been a-buzz with the environmental claims of various companies regarding their closures. The 'top' label now speaks for us - not only does it guarantee quality, safety and hygiene, but it is also proof of our long-standing and genuine commitment to sustainability."
