Sustainable packaging is more than just \u2018recycled material\u2019. Designing a truly sustainable solution involves several important choices, including: <\/p>\n
The foundation of sustainable packaging starts with the right materials.
We provide expert guidance on:<\/p>\n
FSC\u00ae-certified paper and cardboard<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Recycled paper and cardboard<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Mono-materials for improved recyclability<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Bio-based materials (such as sugarcane pulp, grass fiber, PLA)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Minimization of plastic components<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Our specialists help you find the optimal balance between sustainability, appearance, budget, and technical feasibility.<\/p>\n
The foundation of sustainable packaging starts with choosing the right materials.
We provide expert guidance on:<\/p>\n
Smart folding techniques<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Does the material contain disruptive elements (such as foils or magnets)?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
