In our experience here at Co-Pak Packaging Corporation, an increasing number of businesses are concerned about the sustainability of their packaging. If you share those concerns, you can turn to our team for help in selecting the most environmentally friendly packaging options for your products.
We have found that many people are concerned about box packaging specifically, and they’re often surprised when they discover that box packaging is a highly sustainable choice. Keep reading to learn why box packaging is an eco-friendly packaging option:
- Sustainable Materials – One reason why box packaging is a sustainable option is because it is made of renewable and recyclable materials. Most box packaging is made of corrugated cardboard, which is a paper product. In other words, the basic material required to make it is wood pulp. We can always plant more trees, which makes cardboard packaging renewable, and the cardboard can also be recycled, which minimizes waste. In addition, cardboard can be recycled up to 25 times, and most cardboard boxes contain at least 70% recycled material.
- Reduce Waste – Another reason why box packaging is a highly sustainable choice is because it can easily be adapted to reduce waste. Our team can create box packaging in just about any size you need, keeping waste material to a minimum.
- Reduce Fuel Consumption – Lastly, box packaging is lightweight, which helps to reduce the weight of shipments and your company’s fuel consumption. The lighter your packaged products are, the less fuel trucks will need to transport your items from place to place.
