Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Give Your Customers Green Alternatives

Protecting and sustaining the environment for the generations to come is a huge priority at Stewart's Packaging as well as a responsibility.

Many of the products offered in this section are created with this in mind.

Just as the end consumer has become more environmentally conscious, retailers and business owners want to be able to choose as well.

With that, Stewart's offers these products that are fully or partially recycled, biodegradable or made from renewable resources.

Recycled

Recycling involves taking a used item and reprocessing it into something else. New products are made of two main kinds of recycled content: PCR (Post Consumer Use materials) and PIR (Post Industrial materials such as scraps and trimmings). Many of our products fall into this category.

Reusable

Reusing products whenever possible is even better than recycling them because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again. The true definition of a reusable item is something that withstands normal wear and can be reused many, many times.

Biodegradable

These materials will eventually decompose and be reabsorbed by the environment. Paper & Tissue are the most common packaging products that are biodegradable.

Renewable

This is the holy grail of conservationists. Any material that can be quickly re- grown or replenished after harvest or use is a renewable resource. Identifying and using these resources, and reducing our dependence on non-renewable resources, is key to long-term sustainability.

Repurpose

To take what may be otherwise a waste item and use it for another purpose.
