Doing more to do better

Producing products that meet a myriad of needs — and are better for our planet — is serious business at Pod Pack. From social and economic to environmental concerns, we take a holistic approach to being the best partner we can be.

The environment is everyone’s concern.

“Going green” isn’t a fad or phase. It’s a necessity, especially in an industry criticized for waste, and our commitment is strong and ongoing.

Recyclable product solutions

Our cartons and corrugate are recyclable, made from materials that would otherwise become municipal waste, but which can be collected, separated or processed and returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products.

BPI-Certified compostable products

We are proud to offer our LaPod line of BPI Certified products. The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certifies “Industrial Compostable” products that meet relevant ASTM standards for compostability. This certification process is rigorous and ensures that these items can be cycled back into the soil safely at a commercial composting facility.

Sustainable manufacturing

To better manage our landfill impact and ensure compliance with all State and Federal regulations, Pod Pack has implemented partner-based programs to address recyclables and hazardous waste in our manufacturing facility:
