3 Ways Royal Containers Leads in Sustainability
At Royal Containers, we understand the importance of sustainability for the environment and the long-term success of our industry and the communities we serve. As leaders in the corrugated packaging industry, we have implemented innovative practices that set us apart and contribute to a greener future. Here are three keyways Royal Containers is leading in sustainability:
1. Transitioning to an All-Electric Fleet
We have started to transition to an all-electric forklift fleet, a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions. Traditional propane-powered forklifts are a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in manufacturing environments. By investing in electric alternatives, we are lowering our operational carbon footprint while enhancing efficiency and reducing noise pollution. This initiative reflects our commitment to leveraging technology to create a more sustainable and productive workplace.
Impact:
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
- Improved air quality in indoor workspaces.
- Lower long-term energy and maintenance costs.
2. Sourcing 100% Recycled Paper
Sustainability begins with the materials we use. Royal Containers proudly sources 100% recycled paper for our corrugated packaging. This reduces the demand for virgin paper and supports a circular economy by keeping recyclable materials out of landfills. We conserve natural resources and minimize environmental impact by turning post-consumer waste into high-quality packaging solutions.
Impact:
- Decreased water consumption.
- Reduced waste in landfills.
- Promotes sustainable forestry practices.
- Promotes eco-friendly packaging.
3. Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing
Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy. From upgrading to energy-efficient lighting systems to optimizing production processes, we continually look for ways to reduce energy consumption across our facilities. By incorporating advanced technology and automation, we are conserving energy and improving production efficiency and quality.
Impact:
- Lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs.
- Smaller carbon footprint.
- Enhanced overall productivity and reliability.
Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future
Sustainability is central to Royal Containers’ operations. At Brampton, modernized equipment supports high-volume, retail-ready packaging with speed-to-market, while St. Thomas specializes in customizable e-commerce and retail display projects using circular and regenerative packaging. Both facilities integrate cutting-edge technology, fostering a strong, sustainable business ecosystem. Together with our partners and customers, we are building a greener future, one box at a time.
