Compared to traditional bag-in-box formats, Zip360 reduces the amount of materials needed to manufacture a package. Zip-Pak recently commissioned a life cycle analysis, conducted by independent research firm Franklin Associates, Inc., comparing 20-oz. bag-in-box formats to 21-oz. resealable flexible pouches. The study confirmed that resealable flexible packages offer superior product-to-package ratio, lower energy footprint, lower solid waste footprint, and lower greenhouse gas emissions throughout their life-cycle.
