Sustainability

Efficient packaging is sustainable packaging

SAB helps businesses reduce packaging waste and material use while improving protection and cost — because in corrugated, the sustainable choice and the efficient choice are usually the same choice.

Our Approach

Four ways we reduce packaging impact

Recyclable Packaging Options

Corrugated board is among the most widely recovered packaging materials in the U.S. We prioritize mono-material, curbside-recyclable structures wherever performance allows.

Established Material Suppliers

Liners, medium, and coatings are sourced through established industry suppliers, with recycled-content options available where the application allows.

Reducing Packaging Waste

Right-sizing removes packaging before it is ever produced — less board, less void fill, and less material entering the waste stream downstream.

Efficient Solutions

Better cube utilization means fewer trucks for the same volume, cutting both freight cost and transportation emissions.

Practical steps we recommend to customers

Audit your box sizes

Most companies use far fewer sizes than they stock. Rationalizing the list cuts inventory and waste immediately.

Right-size the top sellers first

A custom die on your highest-volume SKU delivers the largest material and freight reduction per dollar invested.

Switch to paper-based void fill

Paper fill keeps the whole package recyclable in a single stream for your customers.

Specify recycled content

Recycled liner and medium meet performance requirements for the majority of shipping applications, and we can quote them alongside standard board.
