What exactly is sustainable packaging?

Sustainable packaging strives to meet the functional and economic needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainability is not necessarily an end state but is a continuing process of improvement. This involves ongoing analysis of material life cycles to help guide the design and use of packaging for reduced environmental impact. It considers the whole supply chain: from processing, to marketing, through to end of life, and rebirth through reuse or recycling.

Sustainable packaging considerations may include:

• Is beneficial, safe, and healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle
• Meets market criteria for performance and cost
• Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy
• Optimizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials
• Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices
• Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy
• Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial closed loop cycles

In recognition of Earth Day, we want to share with you our Sustainable Product Lineup. Building on our history of design and delivery, we are constantly working towards the development of innovative and affordable sustainable materials and packaging technologies that don’t compromise quality or performance.
