Verifiable Sustainability

Our factories, materials, and emissions are independently verified, giving you sustainability data you
can measure, report, and trust.

Factory Ownership Matters

You can't improve what you can't see. By owning and operating our factories, we have direct visibility into the materials, energy, processes, working conditions, and emissions behind the packaging we produce.

Owning our factories gives you direct oversight of materials, production, quality, and working conditions from start to finish.
Every facility operates under internationally recognized certifications and regular third-party audits, giving you verified compliance not supplier promises.
We invest in solar-powered manufacturing and lower-carbon operations to help reduce the footprint of every packaging program.
More of your packaging supply chain stays
under one roof for greater visibility, consistency, and accountability.

Independently Verified

Independent certifications help verify the materials, manufacturing, environmental management, and ethical standards behind every package we produce. Explore the certifications maintained across our global factories.

Building Tomorrow's Factory

CO₂ Footprint Reduction

Every expansion of our solar capacity reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers the emissions associated with the packaging we produce.

Manufacturing Resilience

We schedule our most energy-intensive production tasks during peak solar generation hours so the heaviest work runs on the cleanest energy available.

Smarter Resource Use

Efficient equipment, automation, and renewable power reduce waste, improve yields, and help maximize every sheet of material.

Investing Beyond Today

Continued renewable energy expansion across our factories to build better manufacturing today creates a more resilient supply chain tomorrow.

Measured, Not Estimated

Our emissions are independently measured by EcoAct using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Every reduction shown here comes from our factory’s verified operational data, not industry averages or carbon estimates.

Knitted Paper, Made In-house

Most packaging suppliers buy their handles from someone else. We manufacture ours in-house using the same renewable energy, certifications, and quality standards as every package we produce.

Made from Recycled Paper
From FSC recycled fiber to finished handle, production stays inside our factories for greater quality control, traceability, and consistency.
Made inside our own factories
Because we manufacture our own handles, there's no separate supplier to audit, certify, qualify, or coordinate.
Fewer suppliers. More control.
Handles travel through the same manufacturing process as your packaging, eliminating separate shipments and reducing transportation emissions.

Every supplier you eliminate is one less factory to audit, one less shipment to track, and one less risk to your brand.

Design For Absence™

The most sustainable package is the one that never needs to exist. We engineer packaging systems that eliminate unnecessary materials, reduce freight, and improve the customer experience, before production even begins.

Remove Before You Improve

Question every component. Keep only what creates value.

Simplify the Supply Chain

Fewer SKUs. Fewer components. Fewer production steps.

Right-Size Every Package

Reduce material, freight, storage, and emissions.

Measure the Impact

Quantify reductions in material, emissions, freight, and cost.

Every piece of packaging should justify its existence.

People Behind the Packaging

Sustainability isn't only measured in emissions. It's reflected in how we support the people, communities, and environments connected to every factory we operate. The strongest supply chains create lasting value for everyone they touch.

We partner with local communities on environmental cleanup initiatives that help protect waterways and the places our employees call home.
From tree planting to local environmental projects, we invest in healthier communities around every factory we own and operate.
A stronger workplace starts with opportunity, training, and a safe environment where people can build long-term careers.
Employee assistance programs, including transportation support, help make it easier for our teams to get to work, access education, and support their families.
