Driving Sustainable Retail Through Our EcoInspire™ Packaging Solutions
Sustainability continues to be a priority for brand owners due to rising regulatory pressures such as the Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act. However, sustainability isn’t important for businesses only and consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for sustainable solutions. In the modern day, providing an elevated brand experience isn’t enough to gain a competitive advantage and more than 60% of consumers would pay more for a product with sustainable packaging, according to McKinsey & Company. By adopting our EcoInspire™ packaging solutions, retailers can meet this demand.
Notably, sustainability is a priority for brand owners and consumers, yet many still hold the misconception that sustainability compromises product quality. Our EcoInspire™ series counters these misconceptions, providing retailers with high-quality, bespoke solutions that enable them to reduce their environmental impact.
Environmentally Friendly Materials
Traditional packaging relies on finite resources such as petroleum-based plastics and virgin materials, contributing to significant resource depletion and waste. SML’s EcoInspire™ series moves away from these practices and is selected from environmentally friendly materials that reduce a retailer’s carbon footprint. Unlike traditional packaging, the EcoInspire™ line is carefully selected from environmentally friendly materials to drive sustainability without compromising business efficiency.
For example, the EcoInspire Polybag™ is crafted with 100% recycled low-density polyethylene, eliminating the carbon output and decomposition associated with virgin plastics. These brand identification solutions are purposefully designed with recyclability and resource efficiency as top priorities, empowering retailers to significantly lower their carbon footprint and comply with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
Smart Design and Production
Our packaging and labels are not only sustainable through the materials that we use, but also through their design. Our EcoInspire™ Sustainable Labels range accommodates QR codes that enable brand owners to display more product information while saving space and, therefore, resources. These labels are also made with non-solvent inks, which contain fewer oil-based chemicals and are considered less harmful.
During production, traditional packaging requires huge amounts of energy, contributing to air pollution and therefore climate change. However, through more eco-friendly practices, our labels are produced efficiently and reduce energy and water use during manufacturing. This results in fewer GHG emissions, particularly compared to virgin polyester, enabling retailers to reduce their impact on the environment.
The EcoInspire™ Sustainable Labels showcase smart design and production that seamlessly blends eco-friendly practices with visual appeal. Eco-conscious manufacturing processes, including non-solvent inks and certified recycled content, minimize environmental impact, while features such as QR codes and APEO-free adhesives enhance functionality and efficiency. Backed by global scalability and localized service, these labels deliver consistent, high-quality solutions to support your brand’s sustainability initiatives.
Meeting Your Business Needs
As we continue to face challenges such as global warming and climate change, the importance of sustainable packaging plays a crucial role in minimizing our impact on the environment. By blending eco-friendly materials, smart design, and energy-efficient production, the EcoInspire™ series provides a compelling sustainable packaging alternative that can enhance a retailer’s brand appeal and environmental stewardship.
