What did Swiftpak receive during the . Packaging Awards 2022?
During this year’s event, Swiftpak were honoured that their tree planting Initiative with Ecologi was ‘highly commended’ within the ‘Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year’ category.
What is Swiftpak's tree planting initiative?
As a Certified B Corporation, Swiftpak strives to do everything possible to support the environment, but it’s clear that by working together a bigger impact can be achieved. This is why they decided to make it easier for customers to make an impact too. Swiftpak teamed up with Ecologi, a platform for climate action, to allow businesses to offset their paper packaging waste in just a few clicks.
From inside the Swiftpak account area, customers have the ability to plant trees, grow their very own forest, and make a real impact on CO2 levels.
How does the tree planting initiative work?
When ordering through the Swiftpak website, each product is assigned with a total waste figure and recorded inside the customer’s account. These numbers are then used to generate the amount of paper waste created by the business.
On a monthly basis, this figure runs through a calculation to give the customer the ability to purchase the number of trees required to counteract their impact and reduce their carbon footprint.
Once businesses have planted trees through the Swiftpak portal, they then qualify to use Swiftpak’s tree planting badge. The badge can be printed anywhere on packaging to demonstrate that the business and their customers are supporting the environment through the planting of trees.
Do you need to offset your paper waste?
Our partnership with Ecologi allows your business to offset its paper packaging waste in just a few clicks from inside your Swiftpak account area.
Interpacjo are so thrilled to be recognised for their tree planting initiative by one of the biggest Packaging Awards ceremonies in the world. A massive congratulations to all the winners and highly commended entrants, it was inspiring to see so many fantastic innovative entries this year that were all deserving of the big win.
