With our Heavy Duty cardboard packaging, it will be easier for you to achieve your environmental goals – without compromising on quality.
Sustainability has become a top priority for our customers – and it’s only becoming more important. That’s why we help our customers choose a packaging solution that not only protects their product in the best possible way but also protects the environment.
When our customers replace wood or plywood with Heavy Duty corrugated cardboard, they can immediately see a significant CO2 reduction in their own reporting. This has the positive effect that, as a FARUSA customer, you can reduce your recorded consumption across the entire product lifecycle. (Under is the “Hotspot” analysis)
LOWER CO2 FOOTPRINT
The choice of transport packaging often comes down to cardboard boxes, plywood crates, or pallet collars. That’s why in 2024, we commissioned a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA – see image above) of these three products, carried out by the screening company MÅLBAR.
The three export packaging solutions assessed are:
A Heavy Duty Corrugated Box
A plywood box
A box consisting of 3 pallet frames
All three solutions have the same dimensions (1200 x 800 x 600 mm).
When comparing the packaging solutions after just one use, the results are as follows:
Heavy Duty corrugated box: 50 kg CO2eq
Plywood box: 170 kg CO2eq
3 pallet frames: 143 kg CO2eq
The table (under) also shows the CO₂ footprint per use if the packaging is reused up to 20 times. Even if a cardboard box is only reused five times, its CO₂ footprint per use is still significantly lower than that of both plywood crates and pallet collars reused 20 times.
