Use materials intelligently
Structural design and material selection are coordinated to achieve an appropriate balance between product protection and resource use.
SUSTAINABILITY
Responsibility starts before the packaging.
Paperboard can be part of a circular economy. But sustainable production requires more: efficient designs, carefully chosen materials and continuously improved processes.
OUR APPROACH
Four practical ways we improve our production.
Use solar energy
Photovoltaic panels on our production buildings generate electricity directly at HvC’s Windeck site.
Recover heat
Heat generated during production processes is reused to heat the building.
Reduce chemicals and water
Process-free offset printing plates require no chemical development and reduce the use of water, energy and chemicals.
FSC®
Material sourcing. With traceability.
FSC certification concerns the chain of custody. For your FSC-certified packaging, we agree the material, specification and required claim for each project.
Not all HvC packaging is automatically FSC-certified.
Our FSC certification in contextPAPERBOARD IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
As much protection as necessary. As little material as possible.
Resource-efficient packaging starts in development. Geometry, material thickness, format and converting influence material consumption, transport volume and recyclability.
