Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
The first week in November is National Recycling Week. What better way to highlight the importance of recycling than by sharing what makes Morris Packaging sustainable and eco-friendly? Flexible packaging, material usage, and recycling scrap are three ways that our organization makes a sustainable difference.
By using flexible packaging, we create a product that protects the intended contents of the package while allowing movement. This decreases the risk of breakage and damage through efficient means of transportation! If a packaging product is too stiff, you run the possibility of ripping or breaking the package. This would result in the need to produce twice the amount of packaging. Flexible packaging reduces the need for replacing damaged products. Flexible packaging also reduces the entry and retention of moisture. We strive to keep your product safe within our packaging!
We cut down on using an excess amount of materials by utilizing minimal weight plastics. The lighter the packaging, the easier it is store even MORE of your product within our packaging while leaving a smaller carbon footprint! How do we incorporate even more sustainable products into our packaging? We incorporate the use of alternative resins such as sugarcane and corn-based!
It is our commitment to deliver and develop sound and sustainable flexible packaging solutions. It is our goal to partner with local suppliers domestically producing raw materials who have the same sustainability vision. All of the choices that we pursue and all the actions we make today will affect everything in the future. A simple action that our team makes every week is that we send two truck loads full with 50 bales of plastic scrap to Constant Recycling. This amount equals around 80,000 LBS! Their organization takes the plastic scrap and reuses it to make corner protectors out of our material. Talk about reduce, reuse, and recycle!
