Sustainability...

When considering the life cycle of sustainable packaging, cradle-to-cradle, MAP strategic partnerships actively translate to a commitment to sustainability by addressing the goals behind the 7 R’s. Our unique capabilities combined with our partnerships result in sustainable packaging proven to perform on all levels.

What Are The 7 R’s of Sustainability:

• Remove – Remove unnecessary packaging and harmful materials.
• Reduce – Reduce packaging design so that it is appropriately sized without excess sizing.
• Reuse – Reuse recycled materials.
• Renewable – Use resources made out of renewable materials.
• Recyclable – Make packaging out of materials that can be recycled.
• Revenue – Meet cost effective goals when creating sustainable packaging.
• Read – We work hard to stay up-to-date on the latest information regarding sustainability to develop better methods going forward.
