Shifting Toward Sustainable Packaging
Sustainability is no longer a niche concern, but an expectation, even within the consumables market. A growing number of consumers are demanding greener products and responsible packaging, pushing brands to rethink how they deliver their products.
The Environmental Cost of Traditional Packaging
Traditionally, regulated packaging includes cardboard, foil and plastic film and only 91% of standard packaging is recyclable. This is leaving a significant negative environmental footprint considering how many packs are produced annually.
As awareness grows, brands are shifting to biodegradable, recyclable, and plant-based materials. This is where Prisma can step in – offering eco-friendly substrates, plant-based inks and sustainable production practices.
Responsible from Start to Finish
Prisma is a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified printer dedicated to bringing responsible printing and packaging solutions. Our FSC-certified paper is produced, harvested and sold to support environmentally appropriate and economically viable management of the world’s forests. FSC-certified ensures that paper and board use come from responsibly managed forests, helping support the long-term forest health while also enhancing brand credibility and consumer trust. Prisma maintains AIB certification and adheres to FDA-approved standards for materials that come in direct or indirect contact with food.
Eco-Friendly Inks for Cleaner Production
Sustainability does not stop at the physical box – it extends to the ink that is used in printing. Prisma offers the use of LED/UV inks, that dry as soon as the sheet comes off the press which eliminates the need for overall coating. These inks have a lower environmental impact and contribute to cleaner production processes.
Prisma’s Internal Sustainability Practices
Prisma leads by example through our own sustainable business practices. Annually, we recycle nearly 2,062 tons of paper, 185 tons of cardboard and other materials that actively are reducing landfill waste and creating a safer environment.
