Our Sustainability Commitment

At Crawford Packaging, sustainability is about helping our customers achieve more with less – less material, less waste, and greater efficiency across their packaging operations. We work collaboratively with customers to identify opportunities to reduce packaging material use, minimize waste, improve operational efficiency, and optimize packaging processes for maximum performance. 

By considering both environmental impact and operational requirements, we help businesses make packaging decisions that support their sustainability targets without compromising product protection, quality or productivity.

Our commitment also extends to the products we source and the partners we work with. Through responsible and sustainable procurement practices, we seek packaging solutions that support recyclability, responsible material use, and improved environmental outcomes.

From recyclable and lower-impact packaging options to equipment, automation, and process optimization, our goal is to help customers build more efficient and sustainable packaging operations.

Our mission is simple: be part of the solution, not the problem.

Our Approach to Sustainable Packaging

We believe meaningful sustainability improvements come from looking at the entire packaging operation – not simply replacing one material with another.

Every stage, from material sourcing and packaging design to production, transportation, product protection, material recovery, and end-of-life, presents opportunities to use resources more efficiently and reduce waste.

We work with customers to:
