Carbon Footprint
From cradle to grave the carbon footprint of a box based on
1Kg of manufactured product is 0.94kg CO2. From our inhouse sustainability specialists, calculations show that per Kilo
produced of card, 0.950Kg CO2 is produced. At Allpack we use
Kraft paper which takes 0.455 Per Kg to produce. In comparison
our product at Allpack has half the carbon footprint of a
conventional carton, helping to save energy during manufacture
and reduce the amount of CO2 released into the environment.
A common e-commerce box that is 23 x 23 x 23 cm is estimated
to emit 0.27Kg CO2, which is the equivalent of 25.2g of Diesel.
Other varying factors such as the 昀氀uting used and print surfaces
also contribute to the overall environmental impact of a
cardboard box.
