Environmentally Friendly Packaging For Green Businesses

**Environmentally Friendly Packaging for Green Businesses** *By Jake Kirk • Monday, 3rd January 2022* The packaging industry has long faced criticism for contributing to the UK’s growing waste problem. The overuse of plastics and harmful materials like polystyrene has had a significant environmental impact. At Kite, we've been challenging these norms since our inception, offering sustainable, plastic-free packaging solutions wherever possible. With a strong focus on employee share ownership, every team member, whether in product development or customer service, is dedicated to promoting eco-friendly alternatives. This blog highlights some standout products from our range that can replace common, less sustainable packaging materials. These options not only offer excellent green benefits but also often outperform traditional materials in functionality and cost-effectiveness. Our goal is to make eco-friendly packaging accessible to all. ### **Envirobox**  Introduced in 2005 in collaboration with WRAP, Enviroboxes are a heavy-duty, eco-friendly alternative to double wall cartons. Made with less cardboard, they maintain the same strength while being 7% lighter, which helps reduce transport costs. Available in 10 sizes, from 12x9x9 inches up to 30x18x18 inches, they are ideal for logistics and shipping. Many sizes include hand holes and multi-score features for added versatility. - **Alternative to:** Double Wall Boxes - **Environmental Credentials:** - 7% lighter than double wall cardboard - 30% less CO₂ emissions during manufacturing - 50% less cardboard waste ### **Envirostretch**  Stretch film is a staple in many operations, but it often leads to excessive cardboard waste.

Its lightweight design makes it easier to handle, ideal for high-volume operations. - **Alternative to:** Standard Pallet Wrap - **Environmental Credentials:** - 100% reduction in cardboard waste - 25% wider than standard wrap, reducing material usage ### **Hivewrap**  Bubble wrap has long been a problematic packaging choice.
