Going green shouldn’t be a complex process, and it certainly shouldn’t slow down your entire packaging operation. The natural approach to going green involves making small, incremental changes to your products with the aim to reduce waste and carbon footprint, ultimately having a positive impact on the environment.

One step at a time

The first step towards going green is to understand how much packaging you’re using now. Swiftpak’s website offers automated packaging waste reports that track paper, plastic, metal and wood. Comparing your waste to previous years using visual graphs and downloading detailed reports for full product breakdown, you get an invaluable insight into your packaging operation. After all, if you haven’t got a clear picture of the materials you’re using, how are you going to ensure a greener future for your business?

Once aware of your usage, you need to determine whether the products you’re using are the best option for the environment and ask questions like can they be recycled or reused? As a packaging supplier determined to make going green easy, Swiftpak are at the forefront of packaging innovation and release new, green products regularly. But this isn’t enough. Before suggesting a switch to a greener product, Swiftpak make sure the solution is not only beneficial to the environment, but practical for your packaging operation.
