EarthGuard™ - A New Line of Sustainable Packaging Products
"Sustainable solutions for your brand"...and..."Where functions meets sustainability." I just love these two headings, which serve to define the new brand and product line being offered by Portco Packaging...EarthGuard™. Targeted at companies seeking to feature flexible packaging that (post-use) can go directly into the compost bin and/or recycling center. And while nearly every single "how to recycle" or "how to compost" graphic out there says, "NO Plastics!," these products from EarthGuard™ are indeed a lovely, green exception. Further, a line of packaging products that utilize post-consumer recycle content (PCR), is also on offer from EarthGuard™, serving to further your green, sustainable goals.Here's a quote from Portco Packaging's President, Kent Wall, espousing his philosophy on this new, EarthGuard™ line:
"With our strong commitment to producing the highest quality, safest flexible packaging in the most responsible way, Portco Packaging brings you its latest line…EarthGuard™ . This new brand and family of products emanates from our dedication to creating packaging solutions that are not only effective from a barrier and cost perspective, but are also responsible to the health of our environment. After all, what we do now is our legacy. Our children and grandchildren will thank us...and so will a growing number of today’s customers. The EarthGuard line showcases, in a variety of forms, how food packaging can be recyclable, compostable and can contain enough post-consumer product to ensure a demand for recycled plastics and help support a circular economy. Our goal is to always be improving and offering products that allow you, our customer, to meet or exceed your sustainability goals. EarthGuard is our answer. - Kent Wall, President
