Sonoco announced the creation of its new EnviroSense sustainable packaging initiative. Crossing a range of packaging materials, including cans made from 100% recycled paper-board, rigid plastic packaging containing post-consumer recycled content, mono-material flexible pouches that are recyclable, and innovative packaging made from agricultural fi-bers, EnviroSense products are designed to incorporate a number of elements associated with more sustainable packaging.
These attributes include reduced environmental impact, optimized package-to-product ratio and shipping optimization, increased use of recycled content, recyclability, fiber sourcing, compostability, and the use of bio-based materials.
“At Sonoco, we recognize the critical importance of developing sustainable packaging solu-tions that will protect and preserve our planet for future generations,” said Rob Tiede, Sonoco president and CEO.
While Sonoco remains committed to reducing its environmental impact and improving the use of recycled materials in its packaging, the company is also focused on developing initi-atives to reduce the nearly $1 trillion global food waste issue, according to Tiede. “We be-lieve sustainable packaging provides a key resource in helping achieve the U.N.’s Sustain-able Development Goal 12.3, which is targeting to halve food waste by 2030.”
