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.

Waste Less

Flexible packaging is unique in the way that its environmentally friendly 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.

Reduced Landfill Waste

Flexible packaging has the ability to extend the shelf life of food products. By integrating specifically chosen barriers to the material mix, you can extend your product shelf life dramatically. Alongside its resealability features and portion control properties, flexible packaging is a great way to reduce food waste

Reduced Energy Consumption

The flexible packaging manufacturing and transportation process uses less energy than that of traditional packaging formats. In time, optimized energy consumption will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions as well as lower operating costs.

Reduced Greenhouse Gasses

Flexible packaging is extremely lightweight. In fact, one stand-up pouch is 35 times lighter than a glass jar. Lighter packaging means less fuel is used during the transportation process. Not only is this extremely beneficial to the environment, it is also very economical.

Generation Green

At foxpak, we actively listen and respond to our customer’s needs. This is why we have been working hard behind the scenes to create “Generation Green” our second generation of flexible packaging that meets the environmental concerns of our customers.

Generation Green is a range of sustainable packaging solutions that can be used in conjunction with our current packaging offer. It’s primary focus is around sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions to cater for all. We currently have three sustainable packaging options to choose from;
