How Sustainable Crash Lock Boxes Are Helping Brands Meet ESG Targets
How crash lock packaging helps brands hit environmental, social, and governance targets.
ESG and packaging
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets are now a core part of business strategy for brands of all sizes. Packaging is one of the most visible areas where businesses can demonstrate real progress. Switching to sustainable crash lock boxes delivers measurable environmental improvements that strengthen ESG reporting.
Quick answer
Crash lock boxes support ESG targets through plastic elimination, high recyclability, responsible sourcing, and measurable carbon reduction. They provide concrete data for sustainability reporting: tonnage of plastic removed, percentage of recycled content used, FSC certification status, and end-of-life recyclability. Brands can communicate these credentials on the packaging itself, building consumer trust.
Environmental benefits
Crash lock boxes with water-based inks and PVA adhesive contain no plastic whatsoever.
Standard corrugated board contains 70-80% recycled fibre, with 100% recycled options available.
Manufacturers can provide lifecycle carbon data per box for inclusion in Scope 3 emissions reporting.

Packaging sustainability strategy
Start by auditing your current packaging for plastic content, recyclability, and sourcing. Set measurable targets (e.g. "eliminate all plastic packaging by 2026"). Switch to crash lock boxes where applicable, choose recycled and certified materials, and communicate your progress transparently to stakeholders and customers.
