For environmentally-conscious businesses looking for a forward-thinking way of reducing their overall carbon footprint, then the use of sustainable cardboard packaging could be the solution.
At Garthwest, we are able to supply cardboard packaging and POS displays that are 100% recyclable and biodegradable through the use of corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is a versatile, lightweight, and rigid packaging material, created from papers made up from recycled cellulose fibres. This sustainable cardboard packaging material also allows for direct print, as well as being suitable for various printing techniques such as flexographic, lithographic, digital, and silk print.
Not only can switching to sustainable cardboard packaging contribute to a reduction in your business’s carbon footprint, but can also help to improve your brand image, and appeal to more customers, amongst other benefits.
To better understand why your business should utilise sustainable cardboard packaging, you should be aware of some of the key benefits.
Recycling Simplicity
Corrugated cardboard is known for being both biodegradable and recyclable. In the UK, corrugated cardboard is the most sustainable cardboard packaging available with an 84% recycling rate. It is commonly collected through kerbside recycling bins, bags, or boxes, meaning it is simple for end consumers to recycle.
With the use of sustainable cardboard packaging that can be easily broken down or repurposed, you can significantly decrease the overall amount of waste that is sent to landfills as a result of your business operations.
Reduced Environmental Impact
In the production of corrugated cardboard, manufacturers use wood pulp which requires trees in woodland areas to be chopped down. This is an entirely renewable process when forests are managed responsibly and have achieved FSC® certification.
FSC® certification enables businesses to choose paper, cardboard, and other forest products that have been made with materials that preserve biological diversity and sustain economic viability.
Here at Garthwest, we offer a choice of FSC® certified packaging for businesses looking to significantly enhance their sustainability, whilst also reducing their carbon footprint.
Greater Customer Appeal
With customers becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, the use of sustainable cardboard packaging and POS can have a positive impact on the customer perception of your business. If the sustainability of your packaging is evident with the choice of materials, such as corrugated cardboard, customers are far more likely to make a purchase.
Not only can cardboard packaging be sustainable, but it can also be stylish. With a variety of options for print, colour, and design, customers will be encouraged to keep and reuse your printed packaging rather than it immediately becoming waste.
