In 2020, in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foun- dation, the company launched its Circular Design Princi- ples, centered around optimizing design for sustainability and waste reduction; and in 2021 it unveiled its Circular Design Metrics, an industry first that allows customers to rate the circularity of their packaging. The company’s purpose is to “Redefine Packaging for a Changing World,” and as part of its “Now and Next Sustain- ability Strategy” and commitment to the circular economy, the company by 2030 will use packaging and recycling to replace problem plastics, reduce customer carbon and eliminate consumer packaging waste. About The Survey The U.S. survey was conducted online April 1-5, 2021, among 1,020 Americans who have the same amount or more boxes lying around from online shopping compared to pre-pandemic. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points. Impress Communications Launches Luxe Enviro+ Paper Board Los Angeles, California based Impress Communications announced the exclusive launch of Enviro+ Paper Board to North America, breaking new ground in sustainability for the packaging and supply industry. Enviro+ Paper Board is the first of its kind: a 100 percent PCW, recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable mate- rial that combines pre-and post-consumer waste to close the loop on production. Not only is it truly zero-waste, but it also supersedes its PCW predecessors in quality. A nota- bly smoother and whiter finish enables rich, crisp printing — proving that luxe packaging can (and should be) envi- ronmentally conscious, too. “There’s a preconceived notion that a sustainable packaging solution would mean compromising on the pre- mium finishing,” says Paul Marino, CEO of Impress Com- munications. “This is not true. Our Enviro+ board can offer consumers the best of both worlds: an environmentally conscious option that aligns with their personal mission while delivering stand-out, on-trend packaging that fits their portfolio.” The difference between Enviro+ and traditional lux- ury brand packaging is undiscernible. Enviro+ features a unique coating that ensures vibrant, true-to-hue col- or printing. It boasts every major Paper Mill Certification across the industry. “With sustainability at the forefront of the consumers’ mind, we can easily answer that demand with Enviro+ with- out sacrificing quality,” says Marino. “This includes housing inventory in our warehouses and directly partnering with the manufacturer so clients are insulated from any supply chain issues as they make the shift towards greener pack- aging.”
