- Reduce your shipping costs by reducing the amount of raw material used.
- Protect the health and safety of your customers by using non-toxic biodegradable material.
Doran & Ward and Sustainability
At Doran & Ward Packaging, we offer some of the best environmentally focused packaging available. Our number one paper purchased by volume is a 100% Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) stock. Many of our films are recyclable and some are even biodegradable. These options help the end products be environmentally sound once in the market.
But our eco-friendly efforts don't end with our printing and packaging options. As an organization, we are fully committed to making environmentally responsible manufacturing a reality in our operations. In fact, our recycling efforts save over 9,000 trees annually.
From using 100% PCW paper stocks to the 100% recycled board grades, and water and vegetable-based ink systems to forging partnerships with environmentally friendly suppliers, we are continually striving to find new ways to not only bring Sustainable solutions to our customers but to weave Sustainable practices into our work as well.
We keep close tabs on strides made in Sustainability to find new ways to improve our offerings and the work that we do to lessen our environmental impact and make a difference where we can.
