Sustainable by Design

Sustainability is one of the key components of PAKIT’s business philosophy. Success requires that we build accountability into the way we think, work and execute our strategy.

Our prime goal is to provide customers with value and high-performance productivity founded upon a sound economic, social and environmental consciousness. This belief informs our openness and transparent, direct communication with our employees, customers and stakeholders.

The “Power” to Make a Difference: Our manufacturing processes are designed to operate solely on electric power, which allows us to use energy from renewable sources, benefiting the environment while enhancing energy security.

Energy Efficiency: Energy is a significant component in production cost. PAKIT has developed a unique manufacturing process that uses significantly less energy for drying than competing technologies.

Water, a Precious Natural Resource: Our unique “closed-loop” water system recycles water and recovers steam generated during the production process, significantly reducing water use and further lessening our products’ environmental footprint.

Raw Material: Our technology offers the flexibility to incorporate and utilize virtually any natural cellulose fibre (e.g. bagasse, kenaf, palm, wood, hemp, etc.), which provides the option to utilize locally sourced materials. Working with local suppliers minimizes transport, handling and associated energy expenditure and emissions while supporting the regional economy.

Quiet, Compact Manufacturing: Our machinery was developed to run quietly to create a comfortable working environment for employees. Its compact design allows converters to locate plants close to customers. This increases employee and customer satisfaction while decreasing warehousing and transportation costs and reducing greenhouse gas production.

Improved Supply Chain Efficiency: Our technology creates a new packaging medium called, Moulded Board, which is thin, strong and rigid for creating packages that nest tightly. This allows more products to be packed per case, and better cube efficiency translates directly to less secondary packaging and handling, lower transportation costs and less warehouse space, reducing the environmental impact and cost of distribution.
