Environment


A packaging factory a tree-hugger could love. Most corporations are waiting to be drafted into the war to save the environment. We enlisted years ago. We installed a factory-wide, automatic recycling system; a fully enclosed waste water system and a program aimed at designing packs that milk performance out of recyclable components. After all, if it’s not recyclable, it’s garbage.

 

Over 90% of our waste is in corrugated clippings which is bound in 1,000 pound 'bricks' and sold to recycling mills.

 

Water is used for cleaning our printing presses of non-hazardous, water-based inks (rated as household waste).  Tanker shown above "plugs" directly into our internal system for pump out prior to shipment to a recovery plant. Clean as the driven snow!

Corrugated and the Environment

  • Corrugated fibreboard accounts for the largest share of all paper grades recovered for recycling.

  • Over 60 percent of the corrugated boxes produced each year are recycled, giving it one of the highest recycling rates of any material.

  • Corrugated is often made of recycled content and almost always made of post-consumer material.

  • Corrugated is universally accepted for recycling.

  • Corrugated is more environmentally friendly than ever, using non-toxic water-based inks and is processed without bleaching.

  • Corrugated packaging allows significant source reduction by eliminating the need for overwraps and secondary packaging.
