Advantages of Sustainable Plastic Packaging

As a plastic manufacturing company, Kruger Family Industries makes it a goal to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. This starts with high-density polyethylene (HDPE)Thermoforming Assembly products and swapping expendable packaging with reusable packaging.

Our reusable packaging products and truck accessories are 100% recyclable at the end of their life. Due to the recycling capabilities of our plastic products, this means there is 86% less solid waste found in landfills. Not only will this create a safer and cleaner environment, but it is the future of reusable packaging.

Once wooden pallets reach the end of their life, there really is no more use for them. Reusable plastic saves 40% of trees from wooden pallet production. Making plastic packaging a more efficient product. Plastic pallets are more durable and last much longer than wooden pallets, making them a more sustainable choice for shipping.
