The very nature of corrugate lends itself as an environmentally sound choice. Corrugated boxes have one of the best recovery and recycling records of any packaging material on earth. Over 80% of all manufactured corrugated products are being recovered for use. As a sustainable packaging supplier, Arizona Corrugated Container is determined to provide high-quality, eco-friendly solutions for our customers. Learn more below or request a quote today.
Embracing friendly sustainable packaging solutions aligns squarely with our values at ACC to have a minimum impact on the planet’s natural ecological system.
Our recycled fluted biodegradable structures make boxes lightweight, reducing shipping costs. The rigid construction protects the product, reduces waste, pollution, and carbon footprints.
That is why we at ACC and the entire CalBox Group have dedicated ourselves to promoting sustainability initiatives utilizing state-of-the-art, low-energy machines and facilities. Our employees are trained to reduce waste and our best suppliers also recycle. We all think Green and Lean.
Arizona Corrugated Container is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council.
Risks associated with pollution of air, water, and land can cost money. As a corporation, mitigation of risk is the most critical factor for a cost-effective operation. Not elimination of the entire risk. Striking a good balance between business and environmental risks is highly recommended.
Waste reduction, usage of renewable resources, making products that sustain natural resources, and environment and reduction of greenhouse gases are some of the common expectations.
Designers play a very critical role in understanding and identifying ways to reduce paper during product design. Ensuring materials used in packaging are made from renewable resources and recyclable materials makes a difference in implementing them.
Today, trees are being farmed like crops. Most of our forests are now being certified to ensure environmentally friendly and socially responsible forestation. The use and regrowth of trees in the modern paper industry is not deforestation. Trees are an important renewable resource for our industry.
As a sustainable packaging supplier, we care deeply about ensuring a steady supply as well as maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Paper mills used by the CalBox Group buy from ethical suppliers who practice sustainable forestry, which means the forest is re-grown as fast, or faster, than it is cut (SFI and FSC certified). A well-managed forest, in which trees are selectively thinned to allow for room for the remaining trees to get ample sunlight, can actually absorb more CO₂ from the atmosphere than an unmanaged forest. All our containerboard comes from SFI certified sustainable forests or tree farms that have a low carbon footprint.
With thick corrugated board as strong as wood yet one-fifth the weight of wood crates, heavy-duty boxes provide a cost-effective alternative for shipping. Plus, it is curbside recyclable, all of which align with our focus on developing environmentally sustainable packaging solutions.
