eCorrugated Has Reported a Dramatic Shift in Demand Towards Greener Packaging

Box manufacturer eCorrugated has reported a dramatic shift in demand towards greener packaging.

According to the company, the demand is primarily driven by a desire from customers to adopt greener packaging and also to reduce costs.

Further it has been revealed that the company's Next Box product, which is manufactured from a lightweight 100% recycled board, has represented 40.4% of its total production, since July 2012.

The product is lighter as well as thinner compared to traditional board, reduces logistics journeys by 20% and uses 5% less material.

eCorrugated director Paul Lavelle said its Next Box uses a board engineered by Prowell and delivers a 10% improvement in ECT and an enhanced surface structure for better printing.

"When customers see a better product being produced, combined with the knock on savings and environmental credentials, there's little reason to switch back," Lavelle said.
