Sustainable Packaging from HC Sustainable
While it may not always be at the top of spreadsheets and business plans, how your new product will safely arrive in the hands of customers could very well be the most important, and many times, the most overlooked detail for a successful product launch. At HC, we’re committed to more environmentally responsible options for your packaging and shipping needs. For over 30 years, we have been engineering packaging solutions that provide the utmost protection for both large and small-scale products, while limiting their negative impact on oceans and landfills.
Our production processIn a recent survey of consumers, 88% are now demanding that companies provide more sustainable offerings – and that includes not only in the products you're selling, but the protective packaging it arrives in.
With more and more purchases being made online for shipment across the world, it’s imperative that your protective packaging exceeds expectations – guaranteeing your product arrives as it was intended.
Protective packaging can be constructed from a variety of different materials (depending on the products you’re shipping). But the most commonly used material is styrofoam, which has been an economical and customizable solution for the shipping needs of manufacturers for decades. Constructed from polystyrene, this versatile plastic resin can be used to create all kinds of products including toys, meat trays, surfboards and yes, product protective packaging.
While it may in fact be an economical solution for big businesses, its chemical makeup prevents it from being biodegradable or recyclable, and when left in landfills, it releases 20 times more methane gas than CO2 (harmful to the ozone).
Joseph A. Davis, a freelance writer/editor in Washington, D.C., has been writing about environmental concerns since 1976. “One common estimate is that styrofoam can take up 30 percent of the space in some landfills. And some estimates put the lifespan of styrofoam in a landfill at around 500 years.”
At The HC Companies, we’re committed to a more environmentally responsible solution for your protective packaging needs. For over 30 years, we’ve designed sustainable fiber solutions for computer manufacturers, framing companies, automotive OEM companies, window and door manufacturers and corrugate distributors to name a few.
At HC, we work with our customers to create customized solutions that are environmentally impactful and economical for your business, so from grower to gardener to consumer and more, we’re improving our world together.
For manufacturers who produce long, circular products such as vessels, tubes, pipes, rolls of paper or plastic sheeting and more, tie-downs to a wooden pallet are an unreliable and dangerous way to ship your products to customers. Shifting during transportation is an inevitable reality and forklifts can easily snap tie-downs sending your products (and your profits) rolling away. Roll Cradles are an economical, sustainable solution designed to ensure your products arrive safely and without damage. Additionally, your customers will appreciate your environmental advantage as our fiber, molded pulp cradles can be easily and harmlessly recycled with other paper products. We can easily customize solutions to satisfy the needs of your unique products.
