Pathway to sustainable packaging
Our goal at JohnsByrne is to assist our customers along the path to a more sustainable package. We do this by leveraging multiple elements to deliver sustainable packaging solutions including:
- Design with Intent: packaging and displays optimized to lightweight, minimize waste and increase recyclability
- Material Innovation: increased used of recyclable and responsibly sourced materials
- Efficient Manufacturing: low VOC UV printing, lean manufacturing and continuous improvement
- Responsible Embellishments: that make packaging standout but represent environment consideration
- Life Cycle Assessments (LCA): to provide environmental impact data
Life Cycle Assessment
EcoDesign Cloud is a lifecycle assessment (LCA) platform that evaluates the environmental impact of packaging from raw material sourcing through production, distribution, and end-of-life. By quantifying factors such as carbon footprint, water usage, and resource consumption, it enables more informed, data-driven design choices.
By Turning Data into Better Design, we can:
- Compare materials and structures to identify lower-impact alternatives
- Optimize packaging to reduce emissions and resource use
- Support circularity through improved recyclability and material selection
- Provide data-backed insights to support sustainability goals and reporting
The Benefit to Our Customers:
- Make more sustainable packaging decisions with confidence
- Support ESG and carbon reduction targets
- Provide data for ESG reporting and FSC, recycled content and PFAS compliance
- Balance environmental impact with performance, cost, and brand objectives
