Methodology & Standards

Our sustainability audit is conducted annually by independent environmental auditors, aligned with GRI Standards and ISO 14001:2015 requirements. Data is collected directly from manufacturing floors, logistics partners, and certified suppliers.

  • 01. Cradle-to-gate lifecycle assessment for all core SKUs
  • 02. Third-party verification of FSC, SFI, and compostability claims
  • 03. Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3 greenhouse gas inventory
  • 04. Water usage tracking & wastewater treatment compliance

Supply Chain & Operations

Key audit insights across material sourcing, manufacturing efficiency, and logistics optimization.

🌿 Material Sourcing

Transition to recycled and rapidly renewable fibers continues to reduce virgin pulp dependency. All corrugated and single-wall paper now sourced from certified sustainable forests.

Virgin Pulp Usage6%
Recycled Content41%
PLA/Bio-Coatings89%

⚡ Manufacturing Energy

Facility solar installations and heat-recovery systems have significantly lowered grid dependency. Natural gas consumption reduced via electrification of molding presses.

Solar Generation4.2 MW
Grid Electricity22%
Water Recycling76%

🚚 Logistics & Distribution

Route optimization AI and consolidated freight partnerships reduced diesel consumption. Carbon offset programs now cover remaining Scope 3 transport emissions.
