Sustainability, the Packyard way.

At Packyard, sustainability is not just a goal to us – it is one of our core pillars. That is why we offer recyclable packaging, place strong emphasis on eco-friendly materials, and always seek to do business in the most sustainable way possible.

The glassine backing used for our labels is collected at our Dutch facility and recycled to make new paper.

Packyard welcomes new neighbours with the introduction of outdoor beehives.

We introduce solar panels and charging stations for electric vehicles. We also work every day to reduce our overall energy consumption. In 2021, our consumption fell by over 8%.

Packyard is a pioneer in the production of cold-washable labels. Not only does this increase the recycling rate, but it also reduces the amount of energy used in the process.

Packyard receives the ‘EcoVadis Silver’ award.

Focus on our waste management policy: the amount of residual waste has been reduced to an impressive 4% of our total waste stream. For the remaining 96%, we have found sustainable solutions in recycling and valorization.

In 2025, Packyard takes a significant step: we are officially committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This means that we are aligning our climate targets with the latest scientific insights to limit global warming. We are committed to establishing concrete short-term targets (for the next 5 to 10 years) to reduce emissions throughout our entire value chain, in line with the 1.5°C scenario of the Paris Agreement.
An ever-growing yard

With recyclable packaging becoming increasingly important for your product offering, Packyard is your ideal partner. In developing and producing your packaging, we also work with the best resources and materials available. We offer advice and support in your search for the best packaging solution, making sure it is both of high quality and kind to the planet. We are FSC® (FSC-C068050) and PEFC (PEFC/07-32-368) certified. Ask about our possibilities for high-quality sustainable solutions.

 

Want to improve your product packaging in terms of its recyclability or use of sustainable raw materials? We will be happy to help you switch to other materials, such as mono materials, washable labels, certified cardboard or linerless labels.
