We cannot avoid packing for many products, particularly dietary supplements and personal care, but consumer packaged goods brands CAN focus on more sustainable, recyclable, and lightweight solutions that sync with their environmentally friendly, sustainable values. But challenges in shelf stability and maintaining product quality exist and must be met with packing that can maintain product integrity.

Alpha Packaging has been, and continues to be, a pioneer in manufacturing rigid containers from recycled materials and other sustainable resins to meet the performance and environmental objectives of its customers. A manufacturer of plastic bottles and jars for personal care products, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements and more, today they are pioneering light weight, durable, and more sustainable packaging materials with an understanding that packaging innovation, as much as what is inside the container, needs to meet today's consumers' sustainable values.
