Corrugated packaging: a sustainable choice
Corrugated packaging is made from natural and renewable resources: recovered fiber from recycled paper-based products and paper made from wood harvested from sustainably managed forests. Corrugated packaging is 100% recyclable.
By collecting all packaging waste, retail organizations are more than able to provide the raw materials for their packaging needs. To complete the cycle, Green Packaging System collects the paper waste from its retail customers and converts it into new packaging materials, which are then provided to retail suppliers.
GPS takes care of the complete packaging process:
1. Delivery of produce to store - 2. Compact boxes - 3. Collect waste - 4. Recycle recovered paper - 5. Manufacture packaging - 6. Pack produce - 7. Retail distribution centre - 8. Order picking and distribution
Cardboard packaging most sustainable
