The paper mill company has exemplified the transforming mind-sets of other brands by willing to change all their process in order to ensure performance with conscience.

A bunch of fiber-based solutions were launched by Monadnock sometime recently, for environment-friendly brand owners. The solutions are made as an alternative to plastics and comprise of high-quality materials, called as Envi Portfolio. Monadnock's sustainability-seeking packaging clients so far include Burt's Bees and Gap Inc., according to recent reports.

How Long Will the Sustainable Packaging Project Take to Be Embraced by Public?

Since the project is brand new, the company doesn't really know as to when this expedition will be completely embraced by other brands. But on the bright side, brands increasingly understand the use of sustainability in their work processes.

In facet, numerous reports even state that sustainability is directly tied to increasing revenues, and less harm is done to the environment as the brands are stopping the usage of plastic. Delaying the switch from using plastic packaging to sustainable materials, might just turn bad for the company, as investors are more eco-minded these days and prefer eco-friendly items.
