Sustainability at Badger Paperboard
Our Sustainability Practices
Sustainable practices are at the core of our business. From end to end, we ensure that the materials we purchase, the way we create our products, and the products themselves are sustainable and produced with care.
How We Practice Sustainability
At Badger, sustainability starts with the materials we use. Our products are made with chipboard — a type of paperboard that’s not only durable but also sustainable. It comes from a renewable resource (trees) and can be recycled again after use, leaving little to no waste behind.
We take sustainability seriously throughout our entire process. That’s why we ensure the source stock we order is sized and shaped specifically for our applications, minimizing waste right from the start. After we cut the paperboard sheets, pads, and guards to your exact needs, any leftover pieces are gathered, baled, and sent back to the mill for recycling.
In some cases, we use virgin wood fibers (non-recycled material) to create solid fiber products that are exceptionally durable. These products are designed to be reused multiple times, reducing overall material consumption while maintaining strength and reliability.
In the course of a year, we recycle over a million pounds of paper, saving
3.5 million gallons of water
50,000 cubic feet of landfill space
1,600 barrels of oil
9,000 trees
Make the Switch to Paper Packaging
- Save Costs – Paper packaging can be up to half the cost of similar plastic options, and its lightweight design reduces freight expenses.
- Save Space – Thinner materials mean more efficient storage, freeing up room in your warehouse.
- Help the Environment – Easily recyclable through curbside programs, and paperboard packaging is made from renewable resources.
