Sustainability

Recyclable by default, compostable on request

Good packaging should protect the product and then disappear responsibly. Every Box Sense product can be specified fully recyclable, and most can be compostable.

Recycled and responsibly sourced boards

Recycled-content board where the box allows it, with the fibre content stated on your quote.

Soy and water-based inks

Low-VOC inks that do not compromise recyclability.

Plastic-free finishes

Aqueous coatings instead of laminations; PLA windows instead of PET.

Right-sized boxes

Our engineers minimise board and void fill, which cuts freight emissions too.

How to spec a sustainable box

  1. Choose kraft or recycled SBS board and ask for the recycled content in writing on the quote.
  2. Print with soy inks (our default) and skip metallic boards.
  3. Use aqueous coating instead of film lamination. If you need a window, ask for PLA.
  4. Prefer paperboard inserts or molded pulp over foam.
  5. Add a recycling mark; we can supply the correct artwork for your market.

Ask your specialist for a material comparison. We will show you the trade-offs in cost, protection and end-of-life for each option.
