- Thorough environmental assessment of all suppliers to ensure harmony across the supply chain
- Active initiatives in all offices and factories to reduce waste, energy consumption and carbon emissions

Sustainable innovation
Environmental consciousness is at the forefront of innovation at our company, and we work closely with customers to develop new solutions that meet their requirements with an optimised ecological footprint. But it’s about more than just solving the challenges we face today. We believe that shaping a more sustainable future means identifying the issues that customers have yet to discover – and turning them into new opportunities.
Today we are proud to offer a wide range of innovative solutions that make full use of renewable and recycled materials, as well as optimised processes that result in thinner, tighter and lighter packaging with minimal waste.

Part of a circular economy
At AR Packaging, part of Graphic Packaging International, we recognize that our contribution to building a more circular economy goes far beyond the packaging products we produce. All of our plants, in collaboration with our central leadership, work actively to minimise energy consumption, reduce waste in their processes and increase the circularity in our production. These efforts are ongoing, as part of Group-wide, long-term targets. You can read about our progress here.
