Shrinking Footprints in Packaging

This is part of Hartz’s ongoing commitment to sustainable packaging, says Hartz spokesperson Nicole Tom. The Hartz packaging team is also working on additional products that improve the company’s waste management pawprint. Its dog treats, for example, will soon be sold in recyclable bags.

Meanwhile, Cardinal Health has reduced the size of its surgical glove packaging at least 30 percent and uses 15 percent less cardboard, mostly by just folding the gloves in half. According to Cardinal, the new format lets them help customers reduce their environmental footprint and minimize waste.
