Why It’s Important to Us

We focus on reducing our environmental impact through many avenues. Everyday decisions are weighted with sustainability in mind, which is reflected throughout our practices, processes and material selections.

We Design for Recyclability

Material

When selecting a material, we address our customers’ needs while considering the best resins for end-of-life recovery and the materials’ environmental footprint.

Design

Our containers are customized to fit your products. We limit excess material increasing shelf space and optimizing case counts-ultimately resulting in lower emissions and cost savings.

Operations

Our operations team is continuously working to improve our carbon footprint through energy efficiencies, landfill diversion and scrap material recovery.

PET Facts

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be recycled again and again. PET has the lowest carbon footprint compared to alternative materials, such as glass and aluminum. Its high strength compared to its light weight results in energy efficiencies, allowing more product to be delivered in less packaging, requiring less fuel to transport.

Impact of Plastic Packaging

There are a lot of misconceptions about the environmental impacts of plastic food packaging, which are concealing the fact that food packaging can be a crucial element in reducing food waste. Across the US, food waste is the single largest category of material found in landfills, where it emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

3X

Plastic packaging can nearly triple the amount of time a fruit or vegetable remains fresh.

1 lb

For every one pound of plastic packaging, 1.7 lbs. of food waste is prevented.

20%

of food waste at the household level could be prevented with proper packaging.

Benefits of Recycled PET

  • rPET has a lower carbon footprint than virgin PET
  • There are no significant performance challenges with using recycled PET
  • Recycling plastic requires 88% less energy than producing plastics from raw materials
  • rPET is lightweight and strong, allowing more product to be delivered with less packaging and less fuel than most other container materials

Our Facility

As a plastic packaging manufacturer, it is essential for us to make the environment a top priority. We maintain a highly efficient manufacturing process and incorporate rPET material whenever possible. We continuously work to increase our landfill diversion rates and strive to be a zero-waste facility.
