At Berlin Packaging, we believe that eco-friendly packaging is not just a choice—it's our responsibility. From FSC certified materials to carbon-neutral operations, we're leading the way in sustainable printing and packaging solutions.
Berlin Packaging is dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional sustainable packaging solutions to our clients worldwide.
We've achieved carbon-neutral status across all our manufacturing facilities through renewable energy adoption, offset programs, and continuous process optimization. Our 2024 carbon footprint reduction reached 45% compared to 2020 baseline levels.
We embrace circular economy principles by designing recyclable packaging that can be reprocessed into new materials. 98% of our paper-based products are made from post-consumer recycled content or sustainably sourced virgin fibers.
100% of our wood-based materials are FSC certified, ensuring they come from responsibly managed forests. We conduct annual supplier audits to verify compliance with environmental and social standards.

Berlin Packaging holds industry-leading environmental certifications that validate our commitment to sustainable printing and eco-friendly packaging practices.
Our FSC Chain of Custody certification (FSC-C123456) ensures that 100% of our paper-based packaging originates from responsibly managed forests. This certification, renewed annually since 2018, covers all our manufacturing facilities across North America and Europe.
Our environmental management system meets ISO 14001:2015 standards, demonstrating systematic approaches to minimizing environmental impact. Certified by TÜV SÜD in March 2023, covering all operational aspects from raw material procurement to waste management.
Achieved carbon neutrality in Q2 2024 through verified offset programs and renewable energy investments. Our carbon footprint assessment follows GHG Protocol standards, with third-party verification by Carbon Trust confirming 45% emissions reduction since 2020.
Our corrugated boxes and folding cartons product lines achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver in September 2024. This holistic certification evaluates material health, recyclability, renewable energy use, water stewardship, and social fairness.
Earned EcoVadis Gold rating in 2024, placing us in the top 5% of companies assessed globally. This comprehensive evaluation covers environmental impact, labor practices, ethics, and sustainable procurement across our entire value chain.
Complementing our FSC certification, our PEFC Chain of Custody (PEFC/29-31-XXX) provides additional assurance that our wood-based materials come from sustainably managed forests, with particular strength in European supply chains.
From material selection to manufacturing processes, we implement sustainable practices at every stage of production.
Since 2022, we've transitioned 87% of our product portfolio to use post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. Our flexible packaging lines now incorporate 40-60% PCR plastics, verified through Material Recovery Facility (MRF) certification.
Our facilities now run on 65% renewable energy, up from 28% in 2020. Our Chicago plant achieved 100% solar power in June 2024 through a 5.2MW rooftop installation, while our Dallas facility uses wind energy through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Our water stewardship program reduced consumption by 38% since 2020 through closed-loop cooling systems and rainwater harvesting. We treat and recycle 85% of process water, with zero discharge to natural waterways from our printing operations.
Achieving 92% waste diversion rate through comprehensive recycling and composting programs. Our trim waste from corrugated production is reprocessed on-site into new materials, while organic waste powers biogas generators.
Optimized delivery routes reduce transportation emissions by 23%. Our fleet includes 15 electric delivery vehicles for urban last-mile delivery, with plans to reach 50% EV fleet by 2026.
100% of our printing uses soy-based or water-based inks, eliminating VOC emissions. We've phased out petroleum-based inks entirely since January 2023, validated by third-party air quality monitoring.
Our Green Teams across 12 facilities drive grassroots sustainability initiatives. 94% of employees completed sustainability training in 2024, contributing 230+ improvement ideas.
