At International PaperBox, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s at the core of how we do business. We understand that today's consumers care about the environmental impact of the products they buy, and we take our responsibility seriously. From production to materials, every aspect of our packaging process is designed to minimize environmental impact and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.
Our efforts to lead in sustainable packaging go beyond the basics. We're continuously innovating and improving our operations to create packaging that not only protects and showcases your product but also respects the planet. So, what exactly are we doing to ensure we meet the highest standards of sustainability?
Paper: The Foundation of Sustainability
As a paper-based packaging company, we’re proud to work with a material that’s inherently sustainable. Paper is not only biodegradable but can be recycled up to 4-5 times, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious businesses. Our commitment to sustainability starts by offering 100% recyclable paper and recycled paper options, giving clients the flexibility to choose materials that best fit their environmental goals.
Recycling Waste Paper
During the printing process, waste paper is inevitable. But at International PaperBox, none of it goes to waste. We recycle every bit of paper waste generated during production, keeping it out of landfills and contributing to a circular economy. It’s part of our promise to reduce waste and environmental impact, ensuring every scrap gets a second life.
Responsible Ink and Chemical Disposal
We’re committed to ensuring that our production processes are clean and responsible. All ink waste is consolidated and disposed of properly—nothing harmful goes down the drain. Additionally, any chemicals used during production are handled with extreme care. Non-drainable chemicals are safely disposed of to ensure they don’t pollute the environment, adhering to strict environmental regulations and standards.
Additional Efforts Toward a Greener Future
While recycling and responsible disposal are crucial, our sustainability efforts don’t stop there. Here’s how International PaperBox goes above and beyond to ensure we are a trusted partner for businesses looking for sustainable packaging solutions:
Eco-Friendly Inks: We are able to use vegetable-based and water-based inks in our printing processes should a customer require them. These inks are biodegradable, reducing harm to the environment while still delivering vibrant and long-lasting print quality.
Minimalist Design Approach: We educate our clients on adopting a minimalist approach to their packaging design. By using less material, we not only help reduce the environmental footprint but also provide cost savings for our clients. It’s a win-win situation—less waste, more efficiency
Sustainable Sourcing: All of our paper materials come from responsibly managed forests. We partner with suppliers who are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure that the paper we use is ethically sourced and promotes forest conservation.
Investing in Energy-Efficient Equipment
At International PaperBox, we are investing in cutting-edge technology to reduce our energy consumption. One of our most significant advancements is upgrading to the latest energy-efficient machinery. One example is our partnership with Koenig & Bauer, a printing press supplier that shares our values on sustainability. Their equipment helps us reduce our energy use and minimize our environmental impact during the printing process. Learn more about their sustainability initiatives here.
Additionally, we have upgraded all lighting in our facilities to high-efficiency LED lighting, ensuring we’re reducing energy consumption across all areas of our operations.
Continuously Improving
Our sustainability journey doesn’t stop here. We are committed to continuous improvement. As we grow and evolve, so do our sustainability practices. We’re constantly reviewing our processes, researching innovative materials, and seeking new ways to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. Sustainability is a long-term commitment, and we’re proud to be on this journey alongside our clients.
