Reducing waste and emissions is the goal for Nefab, who introduces a one-way shipping solution.
In the ever-evolving world of packaging, sustainability has become a crucial focus for many brands. This article takes a closer look at the strides made by Hey Circle, UCanPack, and Nefab in promoting eco-friendly solutions.
Hey Circle's reusable shipping packaging has earned acclaim following rigorous testing by Gebhardt Intralogistics Group and Leipzig University of Applied Sciences. The boxes have proven their durability, surviving drop tests from a height of 80 cm and loads of up to 20kg.
UCanPack, meanwhile, has recently introduced a new line of 100% recycled corrugated shipping boxes. These customizable, durable, and affordable boxes are available in over 1,000 sizes and designed for efficient logistics, aiming to reduce emissions through flat-packed designs.
Nefab, another industry leader, has introduced EdgePak Collar as an alternative to wooden pallet collars for one-way shipments. This fiber-based product offers full-pallet-sized options in EUR (1200x800mm), US (48'' x 40''), and the original 1/2 EUR (800x600mm) to cater to various logistics requirements. EdgePak Collar achieves 40% less weight than wooden solutions, reducing air freight by up to 16%.
Replacing wooden pallet collars with EdgePak Collar can result in 34% lower CO2-eq emissions due to lightweight, low-carbon materials. EdgePak Collar is also recyclable in the paper stream, reducing landfill waste by 49%. The collar is designed to provide a practical and cost-effective solution for industries where return logistics are not feasible.
Other top brands are also making significant strides in packaging sustainability. Greiner Packaging, Mondi, and Lucaprint (with Stora Enso) have developed alternative, sustainable packaging solutions focused on one-way delivery and transport-robust packaging, emphasizing recyclability, reusable packaging, and circular economy principles.
As we move towards 2025, global packaging sustainability regulation will become increasingly stringent. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation in 2025 is the subject of an ultimate guide, offering insights into the future of sustainable packaging.
In the race towards a greener future, these companies are setting an example for the industry, demonstrating that sustainable packaging can be both practical and cost-effective.
