Sustainable Packaging
At foxpak, we are committed to providing our customers with sustainable packaging solutions that can improve their brand image without compromising the integrity of their products.
What Is Sustainable Packaging?
Flexible packaging is unique in the way that it’s sustainable characteristics come from producing less waste in the first place. By choosing flexible packaging over more traditional packaging formats such as glass, rigid plastic, metal and cardboard, you are already taking steps towards reducing landfill waste, greenhouse gasses and excess energy consumption. Taking the concept of sustainable packaging a step further, foxpak have developed a range of materials which can be used as an alternative to standard mixed plastic laminates. This means we can offer the market environmentally friendly packaging that is suitable for composting and recycling
