Why Paper Packaging?

Earth Friendly

Because it can be easily recycled, paper reduces the need for raw materials, minimizing waste and contributing to circular design.

Consumer Awareness

Younger generations are aligning their purchasing power with their values, making paper packaging a preferred choice for protecting the environment.

Corporate Sustainability

As the world’s top brands pursue goals to reduce plastic packaging, it will establish the new normal for consumers.

Regulatory Compliance

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation shifts waste management responsibility to product manufacturers. For paper packaging, EPR requires companies to fund recycling and waste initiatives with the goal of reducing landfill waste. At JBM Packaging, our commitment to sustainability aligns with EPR goals, supporting eco-friendly packaging solutions that ease environmental impact and encourage circular practices.

For up-to-date information on EPR legislation in your state, see the Sustainable Packaging Coalition’s Guide to EPR Proposals.
