Up to the Challenge
Consolidation has proved challenging, but paperboard converters are still finding success as long as they find their niches.
It’s not easy being green...but it helps
John Bernardo, of Sustainable Innovations, suggests looking at sustainability as a business opportunity. Switch to non-wax coatings for substrates to promote recycling of tabs, cuttings, and other substrate wastes, which will save money.
Luckily, with paperboard packaging, some of the sustainability is built in. “As long as paperboard is recyclable, [it] will be an important and cost-effective product,” says Roque. “Many hospitals have initiatives that encourage the purchase of products that are in recyclable packaging.” Vista Color also uses environmentally friendly inks, and it just invested in Kodak’s Spotless System, which will bring cost savings to both the company and its customers.
