Sustainability, cost savings of corrugated carton packaging
Main content
This is a difficult time for manufacturers, with consumer demand for packaging sustainability and increasing requirements. The challenge is in need of companies seeking environmental balance, availability, recyclability and cost. Although the production of sustainable packaging is not a simple solution, corrugated carton packaging is an appropriate choice.
Source of renewable raw materials
Corrugated cardboard is manufactured from a variety of sources including managed forest wood, reclaimed materials and recycled fiber and paper. The raw wood used is usually from fast-growing pine trees that benefit the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide during the growth cycle. Many consumers recognize the benefits of paper being a natural and renewable material, making it a good choice for the public.
High strength corrugated carton
According to the latest data from EPA (2015), the most recycled or degraded products and materials are corrugated cardboard. In addition, many people save and reuse corrugated carton packaging because they offer a good combination of strength and durability.
Recycling carton packaging saves costs
Although the paper industry has previously been disparaged for energy and water consumption in paper production, the use of recycled materials has greatly reduced this impact. Recycled paper has been transformed by the original manufacturing processes and it is estimated that one ton of recycled paper requires 31% less energy than produced from pure fiber.
Corrugated carton can reduce overall packaging requirements
Whether sealed with glue or tape, corrugated carton boxes provide security and protection for products from the manufacturer to the end user. Corrugated carton cases provide outstanding stacking strength and protection for products during transport and storage. Companies looking to reduce their packaging are finding that properly sizing their boxes or trays through packaging optimization technology can reduce the amount of primary packaging needed, saving money, resources and Cut shipping costs.
Although corrugated carton may not be the solution for all packaging needs, it offers many advantages that make it a leading packaging solution.
