From Marketing Mandate to Sourcing Mandate
In early 2019, a major EU client told us their 2020 packaging target was 100% recyclable. That conversation changed our material roadmap.
What Actually Changed
Plastic Reduction
We replaced laminated plastic windows with PLA biodegradable alternatives and kraft paper windows where possible.
Soy-Based Inks
Converted to soy and water-based inks to meet EU food-contact and recyclability requirements.
FSC Paper Chain
Established full chain-of-custody documentation for FSC-certified paper so clients could print the FSC logo legally.
The Realization
Sustainability isn't a certification to print on a box. It changes sourcing, ink chemistry, and even how boxes are disposed of. We started treating it as operational engineering.
