Lyons Seafoods has been recognised for its environmental best practice at the annual Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Corporate Green Awards, taking home the Sustainable Impact on the Land accolade.

The award highlights companies that demonstrate a dedication to minimising their impact on the land. Lyons Seafoods was praised for its commitment to reducing its packaging waste.

Paul Succony, operations director for Lyons Seafoods, said: "We have reduced our landfill by around 1,000 tonnes per annum. All paper packaging used within the company comes from Forest Stewardship Council approved sources or holds Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PETC).

"We've reduced the number of vehicles delivering packaging or removing waste, and operate a closed loop with our suppliers who convert our scrap into new packaging."

Iain Boyd, the Trust's Corporate Relations Officer and organiser of the event, added: "Lyons Seafoods has invested £300k to reduce the environmental impact of packaging materials and has aimed to get 100% recyclable and re-usable packaging where possible."
