Eco Credentials of Cardboard
Fulfilling sustainable packaging design briefs across every industry
Packaging is under scrutiny and as consumer awareness grows, a shift towards sustainable packaging is underway. Whether you need product packaging, point of sale displays, e-commerce delivery boxes or industrial-strength cartons, there is a responsibility to provide customers with solutions that minimise environmental impact.
As an FSC© certified packaging manufacturer, we have demonstrated that we are invested in minimising the environmental impact of our products and processes. Work with us and you can evidence supply chain sustainability
Reduce & Reuse Packaging
Recycling is one element of the circular economy, however, we also take an active role in promoting the reduce and reuse message. By designing and manufacturing best fit boxes, we optimise protection and presentation, without the need for excess materials and void fill. In addition, features including tear strips, self-adhesive strips and printed templates encourage packaging reuse.
We can help your business reduce packaging waste, find viable alternatives to plastic packaging and incorporate features that enable reuse for returns.
Reasons To Love Sustainable Cardboard Packaging
- 1. Cardboard is the most widely used sustainable packaging solution
- 2. It offers insulated protection to millions of goods, without causing long-lasting damage to the environment
- 3. Cardboard is largely formed from recycled paper fibres. These are typically mixed with sustainable virgin fibres, from certified sources, to produce robust and protective packaging
- 4. The paper industry has contributed to making European forests commercially viable
- 5. There are considerably more trees planted in European forests than are chopped down, so sustainable management is ensuring that our woodlands are steadily growing
- 6. Consumers are confident about recycling cardboard packaging
- 7. Around 84% of cardboard packaging is currently recycled in the UK
- 8. The process is so efficient that fibres from old cardboard boxes can be used in new boxes within a fortnight
