5 Eco-Friendly Packaging Tips for the Season

As the busy season approaches, many businesses are reevaluating their approach to shipping, displaying, and protecting their products in a responsible manner. At Royal Containers, sustainability isn’t a seasonal initiative, it’s how we operate every day. From our recycled paper mill to our corrugated plants, our vertically integrated supply chain enables us to design smarter packaging with reduced waste and a smaller environmental footprint.

If you’re looking to make your packaging more sustainable this season, here are five practical ways to start, inspired by the practices we live by at Royal.

1. Choose Recycled and Certified Materials

The most effective way to reduce your environmental impact is by choosing materials that have already been part of the production cycle. At Royal, 100% of our materials are recycled, and a significant portion comes from within our own network of sustainable partners.

Through Greenpac, our 100% recycled paper mill, and Tencorr, our corrugated sheet feeder, we ensure traceability and quality throughout the entire process. This integration gives our customers confidence that their packaging supports responsible resource management.

“Greenpac stands as a cutting-edge 100% recycled paper mill, representing the pinnacle of Royal’s commitment to sustainability.” – from sustainability brochure.

2. Design for Circularity

A circular economy keeps materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, recycling, and regeneration. In packaging, this means designing boxes that can be easily recycled and made from materials that are re-entered into the production stream instead of ending up in landfills.

At Royal, every step of our process supports this principle. Our closed-loop system ensures that what’s recycled today can become tomorrow’s packaging, closing the gap between production and regeneration.

3. Right-Size Your Packaging

Oversized packaging contributes to unnecessary material use, higher freight costs, and increased emissions. By right-sizing your packaging, you minimize waste and optimize every shipment.

Our design and production teams use advanced digital tools to engineer precisely fitted packaging that maintains protection and visual appeal while reducing excess volume. This approach saves materials and resources throughout the entire supply chain.

4. Reduce Weight, Not Strength

Lightweight packaging doesn’t have to mean weaker packaging. Thanks to innovative materials from Greenpac, we can create durable corrugated solutions that are strong, stable, and environmentally responsible. “Through Greenpac, we access top-notch XP lightweight liners that enable us to reduce packaging weight without compromising shipping and stacking strength.” – from sustainability brochure.

Reducing packaging weight also reduces the energy used during transportation, enabling companies to meet their carbon-reduction goals without compromising performance.

5. Partner with a Sustainable Packaging Manufacturer

Choosing the right packaging partner is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your company’s environmental commitment. Our vertically integrated structure enables us to manage every step of the process, from sourcing recycled materials to manufacturing and printing, with precision and accountability. This enables us to continually improve efficiency, minimize waste, and reduce emissions across all our operations.

At all our Royal facilities, we’ve invested in advanced equipment, digital technologies, and energy-efficient systems that help us meet growing demand while lowering our environmental footprint. Our teams collaborate daily to find new ways to reduce material use, increase recyclability, and support our customers’ own sustainability goals.

Partnering with a manufacturer that leads by example ensures your packaging not only performs well but also reflects your values, responsibly made, built to last, and designed with the future in mind.

At Royal Containers, sustainability is built into how we work, from the fibre that starts each sheet to the innovation that shapes every finished box.

Responsible by design. Where innovation meets sustainability.

EV Forklifts Driving Sustainability at Royal Containers

In July, a chapter quietly closed at Royal Containers, as the last propane forklift left our St. Thomas plant. Today, the St. Thomas facility operates with an all-electric fleet. This milestone is more than a swap of fuel types; it reflects our core values and our commitment to safety, innovation, and sustainability in action.

A Cleaner, Safer Way Forward

The first noticeable difference is the noise level on the production floor. Electric forklifts run substantially quieter than propane machines, which not only makes the building calmer but also improves how people work together. Spotter calls, horns, and safety alerts carry farther and clearer, reducing the chance of missed signals in busy aisles.

Air quality is another immediate improvement. With propane emissions removed from daily operations, the facility now provides cleaner air throughout, supporting the wellbeing of our team while allowing us to operate efficiently in every part of the plant.

Next-Level Safety with AI Vision

Safety has always been central to how we operate. Our new forklifts are equipped with state-of-the-art AI vision systems that detect pedestrians and obstacles in real time. When someone enters the detection zone, the truck automatically reduces speed, giving operators critical reaction time. It’s proactive protection designed to keep people safe in even the busiest environments.

Smarter Technology Behind the Wheel

The technology powering these forklifts is smarter, too. Onboard telematics have turned each truck into its own diagnostic terminal, logging performance data and simplifying compliance. Pre-operation checklists are now digital, impact alerts trigger automatic notifications, and maintenance shifts from a reactive to a predictive approach thanks to real-time insights.

With connected systems, our forklifts are not just machines but responsive tools that help the plant run more efficiently.

Sustainability at the Core

This transition is also a clear statement: sustainability drives our business decisions. By eliminating propane-powered forklifts, we’ve cut emissions and reinforced our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint. For our customers and partners, it’s proof that Royal Containers is serious about building a future where packaging leadership and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Leading the Industry by Example

For Royal Containers, this transition reflects the values that guide every decision we make. We Lead by adopting innovative technologies that set a new standard in our industry. We Perform by delivering consistent, efficient operations. We Care by creating safer, healthier workplaces for our employees. And We Respond by building resilience and agility into our systems. Our investment in electrification and advanced safety systems strengthens our position as a leader in the corrugated industry, proving that operational excellence and environmental responsibility aren’t competing priorities, they’re inseparable. By living our core values, we’re shaping a workplace that protects our people, serves our customers, and safeguards the planet.

One lift, one charge, one shift at a time, Royal Containers is driving toward a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future, starting at St. Thomas.

Inside Royal’s Sustainability Strategy

At Royal Containers, we don’t just manufacture boxes; we rethink how they’re made, how they’re used, and how they impact the world around us.

Sustainability is at the core of every decision we make, from the raw materials we select to the way we power our operations. With a fully integrated supply chain, trusted industry partners, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we’re working to reduce waste, lower emissions, and support customers who are equally focused on doing business responsibly.

100% Recycled Material in Every Product

We proudly use 100% recycled containerboard in all our corrugated products. By eliminating the use of virgin fibre, we help conserve resources, reduce landfill waste, and support a cleaner future. Our innovation in using lightweight, recycled linerboard earned us a Sustainability Award at one of our top 3 customers — a proud achievement that reflects our long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability.

A Fully Integrated, Circular Supply Chain

Our environmental commitment is directly tied to our vertically integrated supply chain. As shareholders in the Greenpac Mill and Tencorr Packaging, we have visibility and influence over the entire process, from recycled fibre to the final box. This gives us greater control over quality, consistency, and sustainability at every stage of the process.

Our circular economy model begins at Greenpac Mill, where 100% recycled fibres are transformed into high-performance linerboard using advanced technology. Greenpac’s process diverts waste from landfills and repurposes byproducts, such as reject fibres, as animal bedding. The linerboard is then sent to Tencorr Packaging, where it’s combined with corrugated medium to produce durable, sustainable sheets. These sheets arrive at Royal Containers, where we convert them into corrugated packaging that is both functional and environmentally responsible. Once our customers use the packaging for shipping and branding, it re-enters the waste stream as O.C.C. (Old Corrugated Containers) through recycling, often returning to Greenpac Mill to be remade into new linerboard. We also return all scrap sheets and clippings from our own operations to Greenpac, ensuring materials stay in circulation and waste is kept out of landfills.

Investing in Greener Facilities

Sustainability extends beyond materials and manufacturing — it’s also part of how we manage our buildings and daily operations. One of our initiatives was to upgrade the energy-efficient LED lighting at both our Brampton and St. Thomas locations, significantly reducing electricity use at our two facilities. This transition not only lowers our energy consumption but also aligns with our broader goal of reducing our carbon footprint. Every detail, from how we power our spaces to how we move our products, contributes to a more responsible and efficient operation. Our latest example? The introduction of a new electric forklift at our St. Thomas plant — a move that cuts emissions, reduces noise, and drives our commitment to a greener future forward. Look for more on this in our upcoming blog.

Making Sustainability Easier to Understand

To help customers make informed decisions, we created a downloadable sustainability brochure that breaks down key terms, certifications, and practices. It’s a practical tool designed to guide teams in understanding the environmental impact of their packaging, from sourcing to recycling.

Leading with Purpose

Sustainability at Royal Containers isn’t a one-time initiative, it’s a long-term commitment, embedded into how we work and who we partner with. We’re proud to lead by example, from the mill to the finished product, and to give our customers packaging they can feel confident using.
