Sustainable Packaging Design

Sustainability is at the core of everything we design. Our molded pulp packaging combines thoughtful material choices, eco-conscious manufacturing, and circular design principles to provide a plastic-free alternative that benefits both brands and the planet.

Raw Materials: Recycled and Renewable

Our molded pulp packaging is made from post-industrial recycled cardboard, transforming paper waste into stylish and functional packaging. By using renewable fiber-based materials, SPI helps businesses reduce reliance on virgin resources while promoting a circular economy.

Eco-Conscious Manufacturing Process

Sustainability is built into every step of our production:

  • Zero waste: All manufacturing scraps and offcuts are returned to the pulp slurry.
  • No wastewater: Our process generates no harmful effluents.
  • Natural drying: Our GreenKraft Clamshells are dried on open-air racks, with select custom designs using dryers.
  • No harmful chemicals: No bleach, dyes or harmful chemicals are added to our pulp, ensuring that our packaging is a healthy choice for the planet.
