Faspak and the Environment

Corrugated board has one of the best recovery and recycling records of any packaging material on earth, and is one of the few packaging materials that reaches the targets set by the European Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste.

It is made from natural and renewable resources and after use, as it is 100% recyclable, it becomes new paper again for the benefit of the environment.

Europe’s forests are increasing, and responsibly managed forests provide an inherently sustainable resource.  The European corrugated industry supports voluntary forest certification systems, a tool to ensure that wood comes from sustainably managed forests. 

Re-useable packaging is perceived as being more environmentally friendly because of its repeated use, but because corrugated does not require any washing, cleaning or drying it becomes a clean and hygienic new container each time, therefore limiting the contamination problems sometimes associated with the re-use of packaging, which includes polluting emissions from transportation.

Faspak is committed to purchasing only from those companies committed to the principles of Cleaner Production as defined by the United Nations Environment Programme.  This includes conserving raw materials, water and energy and eliminating toxic and dangerous raw materials from manufacturing processes.
