Redesign

When working on a package redesign, we look for ways to improve the sustainability of the new design. Some of the factors we consider and their beneficial results include:

Lightweighting

  • Reduction in the amount of resin used
  • Lighter weight containers
  • Increased cube efficiencies
  • Decreased fuel usage
  • Reduced transportation costs
  • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

More Efficient Shapes

  • Increased cube efficiencies
  • Increased amount of product that can fit on a truck
  • Lower cost per piece

Recycled Content

  • Reduced use of virgin material
  • No need to further use fossil fuels for production
  • Reduced amount of plastic that ends up in landfills
  • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
  • Less water and energy required to produce than other types of plastic
