Throughout its entire lifecycle, from the point of production to the point of disposal, the packaging that Otarapack uses makes an effort to have a minimal impact on the environment. This is accomplished by utilizing locally sourced materials whenever it is feasible to do so. Additionally, by forming strategic partnerships with providers of specialized materials, they are able to acquire environmentally friendly grades of paper and board that have been developed through innovative processes that have little to no impact. These grades of paper and board have been developed through technological advancements.
Materials that can be replenished and contain any amount of recycled material
One of the primary focuses of Otarapack is the utilization of packaging materials that contain a high percentage of recycled materials or that originate from renewable sources such as paper and wood fiber. They are also known as eco-friendly packaging materials.
Built with the intention of being reused
Additionally, Otarapack's packaging designs are developed with the end-of-life recyclability of the product in mind. This is in addition to the selection of materials that are environmentally friendly.
It is the responsibility of Otarapack to ensure that multi-material packages, which invariably contain some plastic components, such as window films or closure tapes, are capable of being mechanically recycled and do not contaminate the paper fiber recycling stream. This responsibility falls under the category of "multi-material packaged goods."In addition, customers are educated about the appropriate way to sort and dispose of their waste when clear labels are implemented. As an example, the testing of bio-based and biodegradable plastic films that have the potential to eventually replace polymers derived from fossil fuels without compromising protection or functionality is an example of what is being done.
When it comes to social and economic systems, sustainability is vital.
During the course of their business operations, Otarapack takes into consideration not only the preservation of the environment but also the preservation of social and economic sustainability. They form partnerships with suppliers who adhere to fair employment conditions and source materials locally whenever it is possible to do so. This is done in order to support regional economies and reduce the negative effects that transportation has on the environment.
At Otarapack's production plant, which is owned and operated by the company, all of the machinery is powered by renewable energy. This increased efficiency results in a reduction in the environmental footprint that is left behind by each and every package that is designed and manufactured.
Otarapack packaging is optimized for durability that is comparable to or even superior to alternatives that are less environmentally friendly. Furthermore, from a financial point of view, this durability is optimized for Otarapack packaging. Strong materials are able to withstand the impacts of distribution and extend product protection, which ultimately results in an increase in value for customers over time through reusability when it is applicable. This is because strong materials are able to withstand the implications of distribution. As a result of the capabilities of converting, modifications to the format, windows, cut-outs, and specialty finishing such as lamination, printing, or embossing can be carried out on demand. Additionally, the utilization of an automated tray former makes it feasible to produce molded fiber partitions and containers in a wide range of sizes and designs in a relatively short period of time.
Forming Partnerships for the Purpose of Enhancing Society
The goal of Otarapack is to increase the adoption of environmentally friendly packaging, and the company is actively involved in industry organizations that facilitate the exchange of knowledge and best practices. Additionally, they work directly with major brands that are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and reducing the amount of plastic they use in their products.
Not-for-profit environmental organizations receive support from Otarapack in the form of material donations for community education programs. This support is provided by Otarapack. Craft materials that teach children about natural alternatives to toys made of plastic have been given a new lease on life by taking offcuts of moldable fiber and repurposing them as craft materials. The charitable partnerships that Otarapacks has formed are illustrative of the company's dedication to the development of innovative packaging solutions that are advantageous to businesses as well as the environment for the benefit of future generations. They demonstrate that promising advancements are possible today through the utilization of materials that are renewable, recycled, and recyclable due to the fact that they take a holistic approach that focuses on materials.
Otarapack demonstrates that the impact of packaging can be significantly reduced by making conscious decisions regarding the design of the packaging and the materials that are sourced. Despite the fact that packaging will always play necessary roles in providing adequate protection and information, this is the situation that has materialized. If there are any new technologies that come into existence, they will make it a top priority to incorporate additional enhancements, with the intention of leaving the least amount of impact on the environment as is humanly possible.
Otarapack is demonstrating how sustainable packaging solutions are beneficial to all stakeholders, including consumers, communities, and manufacturers, by cultivating collaborations along the entire value chain. This is being done in order to demonstrate how sustainable packaging solutions can be beneficial.
