As a member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition®, we develop and launch innovative packaging solutions and alternatives to single-use plastic.
As a member of this coalition, we join a group of forward-thinking brands who want their packaging to be recycled and are empowering consumers through smart packaging labels.
Paper decomposes very quickly and is almost entirely recyclable versus plastic that can take between 400 and 1,000 years to completely decompose.
Recyclable packaging includes cardboard boxes, pulp formats and paper based void fills. This paper goes to a facility, is soaked, chopped and reformed and is completely biodegradable through processing versus landfill compose.
Compostable packaging is meant to decay completely into soil. Commercially compostable materials need to be sent to a facility to be properly decayed. If compostable packaging does end up in a landfill, it will generally still degrade faster than other materials.
Packaging is mandatory for many consumer goods, but produce is one of the few categories where significant headway in package reduction can be made. All reductions in packaging can lead to significant cost savings for suppliers and retailers.
As an industry leader, we recognize our place as a change agent for progress. View our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, resources and compliance documents in our ESG Resources Hub.
