Sustainable Packaging Solutions

Packaging is a necessary part of how we care for people. It’s how food that is grown in one part of the world makes its way to people in another part of the world. It’s how we get medicine into the hands of people who need it. We touch the lives of people around the world every day with the products that we package, but we have an opportunity to do it in a better way.

At BW Packaging, we're taking responsibility for infusing sustainable thinking into our business culture and practices. We invite you to learn more about our commitment to sustainability, sustainable packaging solutions, and our caring team members below.

Our Commitment

Packaging Solutions

Our Sustainability Commitment

BW Packaging addresses the issues of packaging waste and climate change in three main ways: collaboration, innovation, and education. Hover over each option below to learn more about these initiatives.

Collaboration

Building relationships with conscious customers and industry partners.

Collaborating with Customers

Through intentional conversations and trials with our customers, we gain important insights that allow us to develop value-added packaging solutions that support corporate sustainability initiatives. This collaboration also allows us to educate ourselves on changing customer needs so we can continue to be the best sustainable packaging partners possible. This collaboration includes everything from sustainable material trials to disclosing scope three emissions data.

Collaborating with Industry Partners

By engaging with organizations like PMMI and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), BW Packaging exchanges valuable perspectives and information that is crucial to overcoming the global packaging waste and climate change crises. As a leading OEM, our participation in these communities plays an important role in the development of solutions and industry standards, which benefit us all. We invite you to add BW Packaging to your CDP profile here.

Innovation

Considering environmental impacts when designing new packaging solutions.

Innovation

Sustainable design thinking is embedded throughout our innovation process, beginning with customer interviews. Before we design new solutions, we take time to learn and discuss the specific challenges our customers are trying to overcome. We ask thought-provoking questions to help them fully understand the realities of material compatibility, resource efficiency, and other machinery-related considerations. By collaborating with us early, our customers have a higher success rate at bringing their sustainably packaged products to market sooner.

In addition to new machinery, we offer tooling upgrades and other retrofit solutions to support our customers’ sustainability initiatives without the need for significant capital investment. Whether you’d like to upgrade your existing rigid or flexible packaging machinery, we’ve got you covered.

Education

Improving organizational competency by learning and growing together.

Education

From climate change to the circular economy, ESG to EPR, sustainability is a complex, multi-faceted topic. It challenges those of us in the manufacturing industry every day, and for some, the learning curve is quite steep. For this reason, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to elevate our organizational competency with training and resources that are geared toward educating our own team members on the ins and outs of sustainability. In doing so, we’re preparing our team – everyone from our applications engineers to our aftermarket support specialists – to be the best partners possible for our environmentally conscious customers and industry partners.
