Our approach to sustainability
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. It requires ongoing review and refinement
to ensure we deliver value to our customers while advancing environmentally
conscious practices. At PaperWorks, we’re driving sustainability through:
Efficient energy use:
We minimize our carbon footprint by optimizing the energy used in our paperboard and packaging production and refining our transportation processes.
100% Recycled materials:
All our products are made from 100% recycled content and are 100% recyclable, embodying a waste-free production model.
Life cycle thinking:
From the inception of a carton to its end-of-life, we consider
every stage in its lifecycle, ensuring environmental impacts
are minimized by reducing energy consumption, pollution,
and the need for raw materials. We rethink packaging from
start to finish, accounting for often-overlooked factors to
deliver sustainable solutions.
Benefits for brands and producers:
Our paperboard and packaging solutions not only support sustainability but also
provide significant advantages for brands and producers. By aligning with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, we help our clients meet regulatory requirements while enhancing their environmental stewardship. Our processes:
Support brands in reducing their environmental impact by providing data and guidance to ensure our customers meet compliance standards.
Help producers adhere to EPR mandates by providing packaging solutions that are fully recyclable and made from recycled materials.
Enable cost efficiency through optimized material use to maximize
environmental benefits.
Environmental certifications:
We believe in transparency and accountability. That’s why our paperboard products meet the highest environmental and social standards through rigorous forestry certifications. We proudly partner with:
- Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®):
Ensuring responsible forest management and sustainable sourcing practices. - Sustainability Forestry Initiative® (SFI®):
Ensuring responsible forest management and sustainable sourcing practices.
Our entire MasterWorks line of paperboard packaging is certified under the FSC® Chain of Custody, giving our clients confidence in the sustainability of our materials. Recognizing the value of choice, we offer both FSC® and SFI® certified products upon request.
