Zip-Pak Shares Your Concern About Sustainable Packaging

Sustainable flexible packaging considers the entire manufacturing and distribution process, taking into account environmental stewardship throughout.

The ultimate goal is to provide the best possible package with the least possible impact on the environment.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), BTUs (energy used in a given process) together with the least possible amount of waste going to landfills is an important part of our goal.

At Zip-Pak, we understand and share the ongoing concern of reducing packaging and minimizing waste. We provide expertise and advice to our customers to ensure that their packaging provides the least possible environmental impact and optimum performance.

Zip-Pak technology supports sustainability in several areas:

Package-to-product ratios

are based on a comparison of the weight of a package as compared to the weight or quantity of product being delivered. Zip-Pak designs increase package utilization to help boost your product-to-package ratio.

Greenhouse gas (CO₂) emissions

result from the manufacture of packaging material. Thin, light-weight plastic films with resealable closures have significantly lower GHG emissions when compared to rigid packaging alternatives.

Cube utilization

affects the amount of packaging as well as transportation of the packaged product. Many resealable flexible package styles result in less packaging, enabling efficient space utilization for transportation. More packages can fit on a pallet, driving more efficient transportation.
