Consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, and they’re voting with their dollars. In fact, a recent study found that 72% of respondents said they were actively buying more environmentally friendly products than they were five years ago. Now, businesses are looking to increase their sustainability efforts to lower their carbon footprint and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. But, not all sustainable packaging companies are created equal. The journey to find the right partner can be as complex as the materials they use. In this blog, we’re exploring what truly sets apart a leader in sustainable packaging.
Material Innovation and Eco-Friendly Options
The heart of sustainable packaging is its materials. A company at the forefront of this field, like PPC Flex, offers a range of options to choose from. For instance, we offer high-performance recyclable (HPR) materials as well as compostable solutions like the Bio-Pouch. These innovations demonstrate a commitment to reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Practices
Quality sustainable packaging companies will go beyond sustainable products. They’ll create manufacturing and supply chain practices that reduce impact on the environment. At PPC Flex, we use a laser anilox cleaner to reduce water and energy consumption during our plate cleaning process. Additionally, we use a regenerative thermal oxidizer to destroy most volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may be created during our manufacturing process.
Some of our Xtend® materials also reduce waste in the produce supply chain. For example, using Xtend® for green beans shipped from Guatemala to Miami enables transport via container ship instead of by air, reducing the carbon footprint by 65,232 CO2 equivalents per container load. This is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 20 typical passenger vehicles.
Customization and Innovation
When it comes to packaging, one size does not fit all. Sustainable packaging companies should offer customized solutions that meet functional requirements and sustainability goals. At PPC Flex, we prioritize custom solutions, helping us make a meaningful impact in our clients’ sustainability efforts.
