Sustainability
Eco packaging your customers can feel good about
Plastic reduction is now a purchase driver for B2B buyers and end customers alike. GAOPAK helps you switch materials without losing print quality or food safety.
Material options
Choose the right eco level for each product
| Material | Best for | End of life |
|---|---|---|
| Unbleached kraft paper | Boxes, bags, bowls, cups | Curbside recyclable; renewable fiber |
| FSC-certified paper | Brands with retail/audit requirements | Recyclable, responsibly sourced |
| Cornstarch / bagasse | Clamshells, trays, cutlery | Commercially compostable |
| Water-based barrier coating | Cups and bowls replacing PE lining | Improved repulpability vs PE |
| PLA window film | Window boxes and bags | Compostable in industrial facilities |
| Cotton canvas / Tyvek | Reusable retail bags | Long reuse life; Tyvek recyclable where accepted |
Honest eco claims
We help you say it right, not just print a leaf
- Claim guidance: "recyclable", "compostable" and "bio-based" mean different things in the US, EU and UK — we align artwork wording with your market's rules.
- Material documentation: spec sheets available for your sustainability reporting.
- Plastic-reduction roadmap: swap one SKU at a time; we keep sizes and branding consistent during the transition.
