We were delighted to welcome Joanna Koston from Axipack to our office yesterday, where she presented our Sales Manager, Andy Broad, with this incredible hand-painted canvas.

Joanna is not only a valued supplier partner, but also an exceptionally talented artist. Her abstract acrylic work is full of energy, movement, and colour, and this piece is truly striking. The vibrant blues and yellows create a fantastic focal point, and the detail and creativity behind the painting are outstanding.

We are incredibly grateful to Joanna for such a thoughtful and personal gift. The canvas will be proudly displayed on our office wall for everyone to admire and enjoy.

Thank you again, Joanna, for your generosity, creativity, and continued partnership - we absolutely love the artwork!

The Earth Day 2026 theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” is a simple but powerful reminder: real environmental change comes from the actions we take every day as individuals, communities, and businesses.

It highlights the importance of collective action. Small, practical steps, when multiplied, can create lasting impact for the planet.

What It Means for Us 🌱

At Stephen Webster Plastics, this message is at the heart of what we do. We supply recycled plastic sheets, helping reduce reliance on virgin materials, and we support a closed-loop recycling scheme that turns used plastic back into new products.

This approach keeps materials in use for longer, reduces waste, and supports a more circular economy.

Turning Power into Action 🌍

Earth Day isn’t just about awareness, it’s about doing things differently. By rethinking how materials are used, reused, and recycled, businesses can play a key role in protecting the planet.

Our Power, Our Planet is a reminder that the ability to make a difference is already in our hands - and the time to act is now.

PETG vs Acrylic — which clear plastic is better? 🤔

If you’ve ever had acrylic crack while cutting or drilling… you’re not alone.

Here’s the simple truth:

✔️ PETG
• Almost unbreakable
• Slightly flexible (won’t crack easily)
• Safer if dropped
• Easier to work with
• Great for shields, protective covers, cases & containers

❌ Acrylic
• Super glossy and clear
• Scratches less
• But… brittle and shatters on impact

If durability and safety matter, PETG is usually the better choice.
