Packaging has an important role in product protection, but we must design and use it properly. The right packaging can significantly reduce waste throughout supply chains.
These pages will explain Macfarlane Packaging’s sustainability policy and show you the steps to sustainable packaging.
Packaging must be carefully planned from the start to reduce waste in the supply chain.
Properly designed packaging provides maximum protection with minimal use of material.
We know that packaging plays a huge part in CSR and sustainability goals for businesses, with many looking to reduce packaging use and minimise material waste.
Our support helps you take that approach to another level. We can identify the impact packaging has on your operation and redress it's impact throughout the supply chain.
By taking our Steps to Sustainability, we can help you to reduce material usage and carbon footprint as well as minimise waste throughout your supply chain.
We can help identify the key environmental costs in your packaging operation and help you reduce or eliminate them.
We will address the possibility of reductions in your shipment weight, product damages and return rates. We'll help you maximise transportation and reduce your fleet (or courier) carbon emissions.
