 1. Packaging Design - To create a sustainable package, our design team looks into every aspect of your package, ending up with the most sustainable option that still meets your performance requirements.
Balance is critical to a successful sustainable package. To create the right package, you have to ask the right questions. We design towards sustainable packaging based upon:
- Materials - safe, healthy, and sourced responsibly
- Miles Traveled - locally sourced when possible, Display Pack’s single source strategy reduces transportation costs and GHG emissions
- Package to Product ratio - reduce excessive use of packaging, increasing # of units per shipment which equals less shipments and lower costs
- Performance - packaging needs to meet performance requirements
- Regulation - comply with current regulations and anticipate change
- Cost - a sustainable package needs to be economically feasible for the customer
- Reuse - give life to the package beyond its initial purpose
- Recycle - use materials with an increased post consumer recycled content
- Recovery - design for ease of recycling and energy recovery
- Renewable - use renewable energy wherever possible
 2. Single Source Solution® - Our in house capabilities allow Display Pack to Print, Thermoform and Package in one facility, providing economically sustainable savings.
Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions
- Decreased transportation equals less fuel consumption and in turn, fewer emissions
Freight and Fuel Savings
- Why pay for shipment of empty packages
- Why pay for shipment of components to your package
- Pay your supplier for one shipment, the shipment of a complete package
 3. Recycling - Display Pack currently recycles 96% of all our printing and thermoforming scrap material. We continue to look for new recycling opportunities and ways to streamline our recycling process, minimizing the waste sent to landfills.
What We Recycle
- RPET, RPETG, PVC, HIPS, ABS, Paperboard, Corrugated, Wood, Oil, Aluminum
Closed Loop Recycling
- Display Pack maintains a closed loop recycling system with our RPET & RPETG supplier. This allows us to keep track of the quality of our recycled materials.
Grind Machines
- We currently have multiple grinders in-house, adding efficiency to our recycling process
- The smaller pieces allow us to ship more re-grind per pallet, in turn saving fuel consumption
 4. Increasing our Knowledge - Sustainable packaging will constantly evolve as new materials and technologies are introduced to the market. Staying up to date with sustainable practices in and around the packaging industry is part of our job.
Renewable Energy - Legislation - Materials
 5. Manufacturing - Display Pack has a unique and environmentally lean manufacturing process because it can manufacture all of the packaging components (thermoform, print) and also contract package in one location.
Independent Audits
- Helping Display Pack streamline our processes and look for ways to reduce the amount of electricity and water used at Display Pack.
