As consumer awareness of environmental issues grows, there is a rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions. As large companies demand their entire supply chain report sustainability actions, a future without a comprehensive sustainability strategy simply will not be competitive.
In addition to our commitment to NET GREEN™ – a holistic look at the the metrics of overall sustainability – we also offer tactical initiatives as you consider your next packaging or shipping choices.
Materials play a significant role in sustainable packaging. Optimizing their use can further enhance eco-friendliness, to include minimizing the use of single-use plastics, prioritizing recyclable materials, sourcing from renewable resources, and adopting packaging solutions such as Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging program. Our knowledge of materials options is current, because it has to be.
Reducing product damage during shipping not only saves money and resources but also minimizes plastic waste associated with replacement packaging. Sustainable design principles, such as utilizing flexible packaging and customizing packaging to fit products snugly can all contribute to reducing environmental impact.
Optimizing shipping practices can significantly reduce the environmental footprint associated with transportation. Eco-friendly packaging solutions, such as right-sizing packaging to minimize volume and using air pillows made from recyclable materials, can help reduce carbon emissions and shipping costs. By prioritizing efficiency and sustainability in shipping operations, businesses can minimize their environmental impact as they meet increasing demand for eco-friendly products and packaging.

It is true that sometimes recycled materials cost more because the manufacturing process has not scaled to create comparable costs to legacy materials. Thinking of it differently, we can provide you with a value equation that includes overall transit and labor costs in addition to materials that will solve the “balance” issue.
We use a software platform that can provide a detailed data breakdown of two packaging designs and the carbon footprint each has on the environment. This will include water consumption for the manufacturing of materials, diesel emissions for transportation, etc. The formulas are the basis for our vision to bring NET GREEN sustainability as a performance criterion to the broader packaging industry.
If you have a current issue now, such as damage, we will provide you with a solution that includes the review of all packaging materials. Effectiveness should not be judged by way of materials, but rather, by way of design.
Yes, we work with companies that sell into Costco, Walmart, BJ’s, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Target, among others.
