A packaging and labeling company can adopt various measures to support responsible forest management; Litoplas has already put some of these measures into practice.
1. We have ensured that the raw materials used in the manufacture of packages and labels come from certified sources by organizations such as the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) to ensure that the wood pulp comes from sustainably
managed forests.
2. We have minimized the amount of paper and cardboard by applying more efficient designs and optimizing resources.
3. We have decreased paper and cardboard consumption by implementing flip-through systems, closely monitoring waste, and optimizing substrate utilization.
4. Whenever possible, we incorporate recycled materials into our projects.
5. We promote paper and cardboard product recycling through strategic partnerships in waste collection, enforcing rigorous waste management, and transforming them into secondary goods.
6. By opting for biodegradable, vegetable-origin inks, we improve the washability of printed substrates and significantly extend their lifespan through multiple cycles of waste reprocessing.
7. Training our employees about responsible forest management and sustainability within the packaging and labeling industry is a key priority for us.
8. We adhere to both international regulations and the sustainability practices mandated in our country.
9. We have discovered methods to reduce the waste generated in the production and packaging of our products.
10. We collaborate with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to advocate for sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.
11. We hold a Clean Industry Certification, demonstrating our commitment to reducing waste generation, atmospheric emissions, and minimizing water and energy consumption.
Implementing sustainable practices not only benefits the environment but also enhances the company's image and competitive edge in a market that is increasingly focused on sustainability.
