Sustainable Packaging Solutions -Richpack

Why Sustainability Matters?

Preserve Planet

The Earth is our only home, and traditional packaging materials have caused great damage to the environment. About 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean every year; non-biodegradable plastics take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment, causing great pollution to soil and water sources. Sustainable packaging helps to radically reduce the generation of waste and protect the beautiful home of the earth.

Safeguard Wildlife

Animals share our planet and are deeply affected by plastic pollution. Up to 90% of seabirds and 52% of sea turtles have ingested plastic, mistaking it for food. Sustainable packaging, using biodegradable materials, reduces threats to wildlife and helps preserve biodiversity.

Boost Prosperity

Sustainability is a top priority for 37% of American consumers. Choosing eco friendly packaging materials not only supports the environment but also opens new market opportunities, reduces production costs, and attracts environmentally conscious consumers. Sustainable practices improve human health and well-being by promoting cleaner air and water.

Revitalize Flora

The world consumes about 400 million tons of paper annually, with increasing demand. Environmentally unfriendly packaging pollutes the habitats of terrestrial and aquatic plants, hindering their growth. Eco packaging reduces this impact, ensuring healthier ecosystems for plants.

About Certifications

To ensure adherence to global regulations and reflect our commitment to sustainable development, we maintain strong collaboration with our manufacturing partners and suppliers of raw materials, while proudly holding certifications such as GRS, FSC, and BSCI. These certifications underscore our dedication to environmental responsibility, social compliance, and ethical sourcing practices.

FSC Certification

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification guarantees that paper-based products are sourced from responsibly managed forests, supporting environmentally conscious forestry practices. This third-party endorsement assures customers that Richpack's materials are used to protect valuable natural resources.

GRS Certification

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification verifies the recycled content of materials used in manufacturing, promoting a circular economy. This standard ensures transparent tracking of recycled content throughout the Richpack's manufacturing process.

BSCI Certification

The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) certification demonstrates a company's commitment to ethical and socially responsible business practices across its supply chain. This audit validates Richpack has adherenced to international labor standards and sustainable working conditions for all employees.

GRS-Certified Plastic

Our plastic materials are certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS), ensuring they are made from recycled plastic and can be reused multiple times.

Recycled Kraft Paper

Made from recycled fibers, used for robust and eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastic

Plastics collected from consumer use, processed, and repurposed for new packaging applications.

Post-Industrial Recycled (PIR) Plastic

Plastics recovered from manufacturing processes, recycled into new packaging products.

Biodegradable Materials

Natural Fibers

Materials such as cotton and jute are used for their biodegradability and eco-friendly properties. These fibers decompose naturally, reducing landfill waste.

FSC-Certified Paper

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper ensures the paper is sourced from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Compostable Paper

Paper products designed to break down in composting conditions, used for packaging and foodservice items.

Bagasse Paper

Bagasse paper is made from the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane.

Eco-Friendly Inks and Printing Techniques

Water-Based Inks

These inks are less harmful to the environment as they do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution.

Soy-Based Inks

Derived from soybeans, these inks are a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based inks and are easier to remove during the recycling process.

Digital Printing

This technique reduces waste by printing only what is needed and minimizing excess materials.

Environmentally-Conscious Manufacturing

In efforts to minimize the impact of factory production on the environment, our manufacturing process follows strict environmental standards.

We actively use automated manufacturing techniques to precisely control production speed and material usage, minimizing waste and energy consumption.

Automated systems that monitor and adjust production parameters in real time ensure optimal utilization of resources, reducing unnecessary resource consumption and carbon emissions.

Our factories are also BSCI certified, proving that our company's responsible attitude towards workers and the environment during the production process is in line with social responsibility standards.
