Sustainability Efforts

Why Should Sustainable Packaging Be on Your Agenda?

Consumer Considerations

70% of Americans consider sustainability when making a purchase, 47% said they would pay more for a sustainable product.

Packaging Industry Impact

A third of all landfill waste in the United States is packaging waste. Packaging waste is responsible for over half of the waste around the globe.

Environmental Concern

Over 350 species are currently entangled by packaging waste. Studies estimate over 100,000 animals die every year from plastic entanglement and ingestion.
