We know being green and sustainable isn’t a one and done situation. It’s something we have to commit to everyday. We are investing a lot of time and resources in further developing our fully circular business model through our own recycling and reclaiming facilities, and we keep building local MRF and partner relationships to increase the recycling rate across the nation. In Design & Engineering we are working to provide the most innovative and sustainable packaging possible, and we have also created internal Green Together teams in our facilities.
To keep us accountable we coordinate and report on activities, and measure results across several categories, such as:
- Our own recycling practices
- Energy efficiency
- Our team’s carbon footprint
Education and being hands-on is really important to us. We support these programs by providing volunteer hours to actively make a difference.
- Every year since 2019, Direct Pack has sponsored Friends of Los Angeles River (FoLAR) and participated in their annual River Cleanup. The first year Direct Pack contributed with 127 participants and was the single largest group of volunteers ever, and we continue to bring an enthusiastic group of people every year.
- In September Direct Pack employees and families also participate in the annual International Coastal Cleanup. As a strong advocate of all kinds of recycling, we are committed to keeping the oceans free of plastic and trash, and contributing to a more sustainable environment in any way we can.
