Sustainable packaging

Protecting the Earth's natural resources

Harnessing the power of innovation with an investment in the future

Our commitment to safeguarding the environment is the cornerstone of our operations. As a sustainable packaging company, we’re committed to producing premium products while reducing our environmental impact.

So far, we've...

Completely eliminated all routine hazardous waste products

Significantly cut energy usage in all of our production facilities

Developed a comprehensive all-media recycling program

Eliminated 99.6% of all generated VOCs

Created a fully-compliant chain of custody program for Certified Forest Products (CFP)

Produced a stormwater bio-retention system

Earned arboretum certification for our campus from the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council

Received the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce award for Outstanding Environmental Accomplishment

Registered with the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council and the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs

Our ongoing commitment to sustainability pushes the boundary to redefine eco-conscious.

Recognizing the importance of sustainable energy for a greener future, we’ve made substantial investments in advanced solar panels. Our solar panels track and harness the sun’s abundant energy, powering our packaging and printing processes.

By using solar power, we drastically cut down on our reliance on fossil fuels, leading to a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in the production of custom sustainable packaging

We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy consumption. Motion-activated lighting has been installed throughout the facility. Reflective roofing materials absorb less heat, lowering our HVAC usage. In addition, geothermal HVAC units use the earth’s steady temperature to heat and cool our facilities.

In our efforts to conserve water, we employ bio-ponds to collect stormwater, which is then used for the irrigation needs of our certified arboretum campus.

Our commitment to the environment extends beyond energy sources and includes: 

  • Sourcing sustainable raw materials
  • Treating our waste and emissions responsibly with a fully automated, closed-loop solvent processing and recovery system that recycles inks and solvents
  • Ensuring all possible recyclable materials are being recycled
  • Maintaining an arboretum alongside one of the largest private solar farms in Tennessee.
  • Employing a regenerative thermal oxidizer to eliminate VOCs

We aim to be pioneers in our industry, driving positive change, minimizing our environmental footprint, and safeguarding our local ecology. Our standards raise the bar for all sustainable packaging manufacturers.

A clear mission

Through our dedication to quality, innovation, and environmental stewardship, we are redefining what it means to be a leader in the packaging and print industry. As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to continue delivering green sustainable packaging while championing a healthier, more sustainable world.
