The "R's" Of Sustainability

REMOVE:

Vanguard can not only design in paper content reductions, we can suggest linerboard combinations that reduce paper content. But more than that, our designers seek to remove all non-sustainable materials from a project and replace them with sustainable materials. An example is our use of spiral wound paper tubes to replace metal rods in displays.

REDUCE:

New light weight liners and innovations such as singleface lamination can significantly reduce the paper content of a box or display; sometimes up to 16% for similar applications.

REUSE:

In many situations, corrugated can be designed for multiple use applications such as returnable cartons.

RENEW:

100% of corrugated linerboard and the corn starch adhesive used to bond it is made from renewable resources.

RECYCLE:

At Vanguard, our typical package or display runs 60-100% post consumer recycled content. Also, everything we make is 100% recyclable.

REVENUE:

Vanguard has adopted environmental, financial and human resource sustainability goals to further enhance our revenue stream.
