Young Living Launches Eco-Friendly, Family-Friendly Packaging Materials Lehi, Utah, based Young Living Essential Oils has launched a new line of shipping materials for its products that are more environmentally friendly and make recycling a family affair. The refreshed boxes, bags, and tubes are 100 per- cent recyclable, offer more durability, and come printed with fun patterns to encourage children to color the panels and repurpose boxes into a personal masterpiece. Young Living has worked to extend its sustainability initiatives to its packaging through a partnership with the Packaging Corporation of America (PCA). PCA is one of the largest producers of corrugated packaging products in North America. The new boxes and bags have also been downsized to fit the contents better, reducing the use of materials needed inside. Other new features of the ship- ping boxes include: • Higher-quality, sturdier boxes designed for recycling. Boxes easily flatten to take up less space in the recy- cling bin. • Wood fiber that is sourced responsibly, demonstrat- ed by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Certified Sourcing standard. • Eco-friendly EarthAware® AirPouch pillows made from recycled plastic that protect products inside the box- es and easily deflate to further encourage recycling
through store take-back programs. • Nature-inspired designs that double as coloring activ- ities for kids. “We strive to be stewards of the earth,” says Prasad Gankanda, Chief Operating Officer at Young Living. “As the global leader in the essential oils space, we are com- mitted to preserving the environment and making a posi- tive impact in all that we do.” Young Living selected PCA as its partner for this initia- tive because of the company’s clear commitment to the environment, demonstrated through its compliance with the U.S. Lacey Act, Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act. PCA also prioritizes managed forestry—making sure trees are planted, grown, and harvested responsibly to prevent depletion of natural resources. “PCA values align with our sustainability initiatives,” notes Gankanda. “We’re excited that together we can am- plify our shared commitment to the environment, while providing the high-quality end product that our customers expect from us.” The new boxes have already entered rotation and will replace the older boxes as inventory is phased out over the next month. Young Living Essential Oils, LC,is a world leader in es- sential oils, offering the highest-quality oil-infused prod- ucts available.
