Paper vs. Plastic: 3 Key Reasons Sustainable Packaging Matters
At Royal Containers, we believe packaging is more than a practical solution—it reflects our values and responsibility to the environment. Today, consumers and businesses want packaging that aligns with sustainability goals, and our corrugated packaging helps make that possible. But sustainable packaging is more than “paper vs. plastic”; it’s about making choices that support a better future. Here’s why it matters and how we’re contributing.
1. Reducing Environmental Impact
When it comes to sustainability, every choice counts. Our corrugated boxes are made from renewable resources and are 100% recyclable, designed to minimize waste and reduce the need for new materials. By sourcing our paper from responsible suppliers and emphasizing recycled content, we keep valuable resources in use longer and help reduce our environmental footprint.
Our goal at Royal Containers is to provide packaging that meets today’s needs while caring for the planet, so future generations have access to the same resources.
2. Conserving Energy and Resources
Furthermore, corrugated packaging not only supports recyclability but also requires less energy to produce than many alternatives. From production through to recycling, corrugated packaging uses fewer resources, making it one of the most energy-efficient options. Whenever a box is reused or recycled, it saves water, energy, and raw materials that would otherwise go into new production.
This efficiency makes a difference. When companies and consumers choose energy-conscious packaging, they help conserve vital but limited resources.
Through our strategic partnership with Greenpac Mill and Tencorr Packaging, Royal is reinforcing our sustainability commitment by ensuring that both the raw material we consume and the scrap corrugate we recycle contribute to a more sustainable supply chain.

3. Meeting Demand for Eco-Friendly Packaging
Consumers today expect more sustainable options, and that includes the packaging around the products they buy. Corrugated boxes offer a straightforward way for companies to show their commitment to environmental responsibility in a way that consumers recognize and appreciate. From renewable sourcing to recyclability, corrugated packaging aligns with the values of today’s eco-conscious customers.
For Royal Containers, helping our customers live up to these values is a win-win. By offering renewable and recyclable packaging, we’re supporting brands that want to build trust with consumers who care about the planet.
After all, sustainable packaging isn’t just good business—it’s essential for a brighter future. At Royal Containers, we’re proud to be part of the movement, creating packaging that serves people, products, and the planet. Through vertical integration, we control every stage of our production process, ensuring high standards, reduced waste, and greater customer flexibility. With each innovation, we’re working with our customers to make a lasting, positive impact on our shared world.
