Package With Less: For the Planet and Your Bottom Line
Over 50% of global plastic pollution stems from packaging, and companies are under pressure to cut waste, improve recyclability, and meet new compliance standards. That’s why Rocket Industrial is on a mission to cut packaging waste at the source, with smarter engineering, better materials, and measurable results.
Whether you’re reducing materials, improving recyclability, or navigating new regulations, our sustainability services support every step of your packaging journey.
Packaging Lab Testing - Our packaging lab evaluates load stability, material performance, and failure points to identify opportunities to downgauge, redesign, or eliminate excess material without compromising protection.
Sustainable Packaging Design - From corrugated alternatives to repulpable and recyclable substrates, our engineers develop packaging solutions that meet your environmental goals while improving operational efficiency.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) - We analyze the environmental impact of packaging from raw materials through end-of-life to support data-driven decisions.
Sustainability Consulting - Our experts help evaluate your full packaging system, recommending material changes, equipment upgrades, waste-reduction opportunities, and compliance improvements tailored to your industry.
EPR and Sustainability Regulation Guidance - Packaging laws are evolving fast. From Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to labeling changes, we help you stay compliant, informed, and ahead of the curve.
Compostable Packaging - Plant-based films, pouches, and bags designed to safely break down after use
Recyclable Tapes and Adhesives - Repulpable and recyclable tape options that don’t contaminate recycling streams
Right-Sized Packaging - Custom-engineered designs to reduce excess material and lower shipping costs
Recyclable Films - Stretch and shrink films with higher recycled content and improved recyclability
Protective Packaging - Sustainable cushioning, paper void fill, and molded pulp replacements for foam
Measurable Impact for Our Clients
A Milestone That Sparked a Mission
In 2021, we achieved our Million Pound Promise, helping customers eliminate over 1 million pounds of packaging waste. That initiative continues today through ongoing audits, testing, and material optimization.
Ongoing Wins for Clients
