Editorial

The Sustainable Packaging Alliance (SPA) defines sustainable packaging as effective, efficient, cyclic, and safe.

EnviroShell, invented by Winterborne and first introduced in 2005, features a unique corrugated design with a proprietary seal that allows it to outperform traditional plastic clamshells, and less substantial trapped blister packaging. It is made from 100 percent recycled RPET and a minimum of 70 percent recycled corrugated. It is one of the first sustainable packages and has the longest performance record.

And if you are still unsure which system will serve you best, consult an expert. Most manufacturers have engineers and fabricators who have direct experience with conveyors as well as other material handling systems.
