Sustainability

Sustainable Packaging

At Interpack, we are aware that the conception of a folding carton determines its sustainability. Therefore, we encourage Ecodesign, using certified and recycled materials, vegetal raw materials, and optimised designs. 
We advise our customers during the whole development process, and seek the balance among functional, eye-catching, and sustainable folding cartons.
What should be taken into account for a folding carton to be sustainable?
  • Materials and the natural resources production requires.
  • The environmental impact the manufacture process has
    • Final disposal of the product. What happens if it is not recycled and is finally disposed of in nature?

OUR SUSTAINABLE FOLDING CARTONS

The folding cartons we produce are made of paperboard and micro-flute, a structure consisting of paperboard, paper and liner. Paperboard is made up of cellulose fibres, a renewable and sustainable resource, and components recycled up to 85%. Consequently, this material is sustainable from its conception.

Regarding the sustainability of the virgin fibre used for our paperboard, forest certification guarantees it comes from responsibly managed forests; this means it comes from a sustainable forest source. The FSC or PEFC chain of custody logo printed on folding cartons ensures this folding carton is manufactured with wood from certified forests.

At the end of their life cycle, paperboard, cardboard and paper are biodegradable materials and their biodegradation process generates organic compounds for the soil. These materials are easily recycled and, in case of being disposed of in the environment, they biodegrade under environmental conditions.
