Sustainable Efforts

Royal Paper Box is committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and engages in the EcoVadis Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment. These initiatives establish a framework for monitoring, managing, collecting, collating, and reporting data. Our EcoVadis sustainability rating has increased by 27% from 2019 to 2020, placing us in the top 70th percentile within our industry.

We provide a range of material options and have implemented sustainable practices to support eco-conscious customers in their packaging requirements. These practices include the use of low VOC UV and vegetable-based inks, recyclable water-based coatings, and optimized package design to minimize paperboard waste and lessen the impact on forestry. Our Structural Design Department has created thousands of paperboard designs, eliminating the need for foam and plastic packaging components.

We have implemented a comprehensive 100% recycling program to contribute to a healthier planet. Royal Paper Box is your ideal partner for sustainable manufacturing, offering options such as recycled, FSC®-certified paperboard, sustainable virgin materials, and paperboard containing up to 100% postconsumer waste.
