Almost 80 million tons of packaging waste is generated annually according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. When landfilled or incinerated, these resources pollute the environment and pose health risks to humans and wildlife. Packaging waste is also the main source of the plastic pollution that is clogging the oceans.
Managing packaging waste and discards from inbound products or excess/scrap packaging from your plant’s operations requires planning and management. It’s the key to controlling costs and minimizing your facility’s environmental footprint.
