Sustainability

Boxmaster, in conjunction with Crown Packaging and Port Townsend Paper, is pleased to announce their achievement of FSC® certification for Chain of Custody and Controlled Wood.  We attained our certification in July of 2010, making us one of a select group of corrugated manufacturers in Canada.  This new certification will allow us to offer environmentally conscience products to our clients, as well as establishing our company as an active partner in responsible forest management.

Low carbon footprint

Boxmaster, in conjunction with our design division, Crown Creative, have always endeavoured to provide our clients with cost effective and material efficient packaging solutions. This combined expertise along with the FSC certification will enable us to satisfy a long term desire to limit packaging footprints at the retail level.  Some of the largest retailers in North America have developed their own scorecards for suppliers. Any packaging efficiencies or reductions and low carbon footprints have become key metrics when evaluating additions to their product offerings.  Let our strength in this area go to work for your company and its products!

2010 Burnaby Board of Trade Business Excellence Awards

Boxmaster is pleased to have been announced as one of the four finalists in the category of Environmental Sustainability, in the 2010 Burnaby Board of Trade Business Excellence Awards. Each year the Board of Trade selects a finalist in one of eight categories. The requirements for the Environmental Sustainability Award is for a Burnaby business that has made protecting, sustaining and enhancing natural resources an integral part of their business plan by adopting strategies and activities that reduce energy and materials consumption and/or eliminates wastes and pollution.

We were pleased that our efforts had been recognized by our community, and we continue to look for ways to be a responsible manufacturer within our industry and community. With our FSC certification achieved in July 2010, and our ongoing efforts to reduce materials in packaging design for our clients, we feel positive about the direction these efforts have taken our company.
