🌿 Embracing Sustainability in Packaging with Iron Forest Packaging! 🌍 At Iron Forest Packaging, we are thrilled to share our commitment to reducing carbon footprints and revolutionizing the packaging industry towards a greener future! Original Packaging: Traditionally, packaging involved a cardboard box, two strips of tape, and a polystyrene insert to secure the product. But, we believe in doing better for our planet. **Step One: Tape-Free Innovation** Say goodbye to excess waste! Iron Forest Packaging introduces a self-erecting box that securely locks without the need for tape. This not only streamlines the packaging process but also eliminates the environmental impact of tape disposal. Step Two: Polystyrene-Free Solution We've taken a giant leap towards sustainability by designing a box crafted solely from corrugated cardboard. This innovative design not only safeguards the product but also serves as both packaging and protection. No more separate polystyrene inserts, reducing waste and enhancing eco-friendliness. Why Iron Forest Packaging? - Environmentally Conscious: Our solutions aim to minimize waste and optimize the use of recyclable materials. - Innovative Designs: We believe in pushing boundaries, creating packaging that is both functional and environmentally responsible. - Customer-Centric: Iron Forest Packaging strives to provide solutions that meet your packaging needs while aligning with sustainability goals. 🌿 Join Us in the Green Revolution! By choosing Iron Forest Packaging, you're not just adopting a packaging solution; you're making a statement for a greener, more sustainable future. Let's collaborate to reduce our carbon footprint and make a positive impact together! #Sustainability #GreenPackaging #IronForestPackaging #Innovation #ReduceWaste #EcoFriendly #PackagingRevolution #EnvironmentalImpact #RecyclableMaterials #SustainableDesign #PackagingSolutions #GreenInitiative #EarthFriendlyPackaging #EcoPackaging #CorrugatedCardboard #PackagingGoals

When products contain multiple materials, recycling becomes complex. But what if an item was made of just one material? ♻️ FREITAG, the Swiss bag maker, explored this concept and documented their journey in this fascinating short film. Let's dive into this case study on the intricacies of recycling and circular design! 🎒 Introducing FREITAG's Mono[PA6] Backpack: - 100% single material (polyamide 6/nylon) - 3 years in development - Water-repellent without additional coatings (a major mono-material design breakthrough!) - 2-in-1 design: backpack with detachable crossbody bag This backpack isn't just about sustainability—it's about rethinking product lifecycles. FREITAG is closing the loop by offering take-back services and ensuring the material can be fully recycled into new products.

Sustainability – isn’t that something we hear, talk and act about every day? Yet, it is hugely different how much or little we have done depending on the industry.   At Metroprint, we are looking for solutions to balance between meeting the needs of our clients and making environmentally responsible choices. Recognizing the challenges our clients face in selecting suitable alternatives for PVC outdoor banners, we acknowledge the indispensability of this material for specific applications, such as vibrant colour representation, resilience to weather and temperature extremes. Notably, only around 2% of the total square meters ordered by our clients and printed at Metroprint in 2023 were on environmentally friendly materials.   As we continue to promote greener materials to be used by our clients, we’ve undertaken initiative to change things that are under our control. 👉 We reuse waste as much as possible – PVC roll material waste as well as discarded cardboard coils are used in our packing department. 👉 We repurpose textile waste into eco-friendly shopping bags, collaborating with a partner for that. 👉 We channel board material scraps through Materjalivoog for application in various industrial processes. 👉 Our packaging boxes are either reuse ones or corrugated cardboard sourced from re-cycled waste. 👉 We have invested in low power consumption lightning in our production. 👉 We optimize equipment use and monitor energy consumption. 👉 We sort and dispose non-recyclable waste responsibly .   ☝ Our goal set for 2024 is a complete transition to environmentally friendly packaging accessories. And we keep on working with our clients to find more and better sustainable solutions.   Pictured here, banners inside this 2% - Kuldmuna 25 years gala at Estonian Concert Hall organized by Turundajate Liit / Estonian Marketing Association. #sustainability #sustainabledevelopment #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

🎨 Packaging Design - Part 3: Sustainability at the Crossroads—Making the Right Choice 🌱 In Part 2, we reached a fork in the road: Should you push for an innovative, eco-friendly packaging design that might slow down production, or stick to the existing machines for the sake of efficiency and cost? It’s a tough call, but there’s one thing that’s become clear—sustainability can’t be sidelined. Now, imagine you’ve made your choice. You’ve either upgraded the machines to handle new mono-material laminate or biodegradable material. But here’s the big question: How do you ensure sustainability remains a priority in either case? Let’s explore the sustainability factor for both decisions. 📦 If You Chose Packaging-First... You’ve gone ahead with your eco-friendly packaging, even if it means investing in machine upgrades. The payoff? You’re setting a new standard in sustainability. But, as your team celebrates, you’re also aware that the costs are higher, and you’ve got stakeholders looking for more concrete benefits. Here’s how to ensure sustainability remains front and center: - Communicate the Impact: Make sure your customers know the value of your eco-friendly packaging. Some brands create unique logos or awareness campaigns to tell their consumer about their recycle-ready material. This is needed to create awareness about the fact that it reduces waste and supports the environment. 🌍 - Measure and Share: Track the carbon footprint reduction example of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) practice, waste savings, and other key environmental metrics. Use this data to show stakeholders that the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term costs. - Sustainability is a Journey: Continue exploring ways to further improve—could you switch to locally sourced materials? Are there options for closed-loop systems or refillable packaging? Innovation doesn’t stop here! In Part 3.2, we’ll explore on the machine side #SustainabilityInDesign #EcoFriendlyPackaging #SustainablePackaging #PackagingInnovation #Manufacturing #PackagingEngineering #SustainabilityJourney

5 ways to make packaging more Eco-Friendly Do you want your packaging to be more environmentally friendly but aren't sure where to start? Understanding these five key aspects can help you make informed decisions. 1. Choose Sustainable Materials: Invest in renewable materials such as certified paper or recycled cardboard. Look for FSC or PEFC certifications, which ensure responsible sourcing of raw materials. 2. Minimize Resource Use: Reduce the amount of materials used by designing packaging that is simple to produce and assemble, thereby decreasing waste. 3. Use Safe Inks and Adhesives: Opt for water-based inks and solvent-free adhesives that are environmentally safe and make recycling of packaging easier. 4. Design for Recycling: Ensure that your packaging is easy to sort and process, which facilitates its reuse. 5.
