Fiber Reduction

One of the key goals of a renewably sourced packaging effort is to provide packaging materials that have reduced impact on the environment. This is often accomplished at no additional cost and no sacrifice in performance. The increased market focus on sustainable packaging has also allowed companies to create an element of difference and marketing edge. By introducing products and packages that reduce the environmental footprint, brand owners help increase loyalty while fulfilling the demand for socially responsible corporate behavior.

One way CPG companies can improve sustainability is by reducing the fiber content of corrugated boxes. Many suppliers over-package goods to ensure that items are delivered with sufficient protection throughout the distribution system. Adalis can re-engineer your package to use the least amount of corrugated possible, while reinforcing only the critical stress areas of the package. This is a simple and cost-effective method of source reduction that Adalis can help you implement to minimize excess packaging.

Each year, these innovative Adalis packaging solutions are responsible for decreasing the amount of fiberboard that is consumed in the packaging supply chain by approximately 500,000 tons. Imagine eliminating the need for paper equivalent to filling over 9,900 train freight cars or covering 166 football fields four feet deep from the packaging distribution chain.
