Butterworth said: “There has never been a more pressing time to support individuals and businesses seeking the right solutions to packaging, at a price that works with their bottom line. We at The Plastic Bottles Company offer such a wide range of recyclable products and are ever growing our recycled and bioplastic products that I’m excited with the opportunities for us and our customers in 2020 and beyond.”

She added: “Our continued success is the result of our focus on providing a very high quality, personal service, aiming to make life easier for our customers. That’s our unique selling point.”
