What Is Sustainable Packaging?

Today’s packaging landscape is more complex than ever. Brands are under pressure to reduce environmental impact, meet new regulatory requirements, and still deliver on performance and cost. But making the right decisions isn’t always straightforward, especially when sustainability claims can be vague, and the stakes are high.

That’s where we come in.

At the Sustainable Design Lab, we help you evaluate packaging with precision and purpose. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we cut through the noise to give you clear, science-backed data on the environmental impact of your packaging, from carbon and water usage to end-of-life outcomes. You’ll understand where the real impact lies, and where the greatest opportunities are to make change.

But data is just the beginning.

Proving It

As one of the largest specialty packaging distributors in North America with more than 30 design centers and 6 ISTA-certified testing facilities, we have a wide lens on what’s available, what’s emerging, and what’s actually scalable. We don’t just wait for innovation to come to us, we actively create solutions and build partnerships with companies on the cutting edge of sustainable packaging. We test, validate, and scale these solutions to solve your toughest packaging challenges.

The SDL connects the dots between innovation and implementation, so you can move forward with packaging that performs, protects, and progresses your sustainability goals.
