Your company
Who you are, which site supplies us, and who to talk to if we have a question. If you were sent this link by McColgan's and already have a saved return file, you can load it at the bottom of this page and change only what has moved.
The supplying business
The site that supplies McColgan's
The address goods are despatched from. If more than one site supplies us, give the main one here and name the others in the notes.
Why the country matters: UK Plastic Packaging Tax treats packaging that arrives from outside the UK differently from packaging made in it, so we need to know where things come from, not just who sells them.
Who to contact
What you supply us
Tick everything that applies. It changes the wording on the next step, not the questions.
Products and packaging
One card per product or item you supply us. For each one we need how it is packed, level by level, with the weight of one component in grams. This is the part that feeds our packaging returns, so it is the part we most need to be right.
Caramelised red onion chutney, 5 kg pail
| Level | Component | Material | Weight of one | How many | Per | Recycled | Weight source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Pail | Plastic, rigid. PP, white | 153.9 g | 1 | product | 0% | Weighed sample |
| Primary | Label | Paper | 2 g | 1 | product | 90% | Specification |
| Secondary | Outer case | Corrugated board, brown | 610 g | 1 | outer case | 80% | Weighed sample |
| Secondary | Tape | Plastic, flexible. PP | 4 g | 1 | outer case | 0% | Specification |

Six rows for one product. The pallet wrap is the row most often forgotten.
If you send us boxes, film, labels, trays or sleeves, use the first. If you send us something to eat and it arrives in packaging, use the second.
Carbon and transport
What we buy from you sits in our Scope 3 footprint. Anything you already hold helps; "not measured" is a complete answer and far more useful than a blank. We never score a supplier for being small.
Your company's greenhouse gas emissions
Delivering to us
Distance, weight and mode let us work out freight emissions ourselves, so please give what you have even if you have no emissions figure.
