Ecology & Responsible Packaging

Source Reduction is a proven approach to sustainable packaging. As our planet's resources become increasingly limited, it has become imperative that we reduce the amount of packaging mass that ultimately enters our landfills. The Regular Slotted Case (RSC), more commonly as "the cardboard box" is traditionally used to protect products throughout the distribution channel so that they can be delivered to the consumer in excellent condition. It is no longer necessary to use a large amount of corrugated material in order to achieve this goal. There are several packaging alternatives available that can provide excellent product protection while drastically reducing the overall packaging mass. In addition to the ecological impact, there are also financial incentives for source reduction, as the per-pack materials cost is significantly lower than those found in traditional RSCs. Wraparound cases, tray & shrink packs, pad-supported multipacks, and unsupported shrink wrap packages all represent significant material savings over RSCs, while maintaining product integrity throughout the distribution process.
