Accelerating Innovations In Packaging
Sustainable packaging, storage and consumables will set your products apart and will give your products a competitive edge.
Since their inception, plastics have been made from finite resources, chiefly oil.
The growth of the market for sustainable products derived from renewable resources is driven by society’s recognition for change.
Since Governments have introduced legislation for sustainable packaging, Trade Island has been at the forefront to exceed these regulations.
With our partners we develop and manufacture packaging products using sustainable materials derived from renewable resources.
These renewable and compostable materials deliver storage and packaging products with a lower carbon footprint.

Manufacturing Sustainability
Sustainability is embedded in our products when they are designed and manufactured through: quality manufacturing; innovation; use of recycled content and low impact substrates, energy and logistics efficiency projects and other innovations that are part of the our culture.
Market (Product) Sustainability
The least sustainable packaging option will always be the one that doesn’t work.
We recognise that packaging serves a purpose. That purpose can range from food safety and protecting a product to marketing or labelling and safe transportation by a consumer.
Simply put quality packaging reduces waste from damage, spoilage, or other factors and is why market sustainability is one of the most important aspects of packaging sustainability.
We also recognise that proper designed packaging reduces waste caused by excessive packaging.
Our engineers work closely with our customers and markets to understand how we can best make packaging that reduces product waste while helping to grow a sustainable economy.
End of Life Sustainability
Our packaging always have an end of life plan.
No matter if our products are paper or plastic we are continually looking at ways to make more of them recyclable or compostable so that we can facilitate reduction of packaging going to landfills.
We recognise that many packaging designs aren’t recyclable or compostable because of market demand for designs that protect or preserve products.
In these cases, we recognise that the packaging impact is far smaller than the potential environmental impact of lost products or spoiled food, but we keep partnering with the industry and market to hopefully one day make these designs recyclable and/or compostable as well.
Sustainability
We believe that opportunities to improve environmental impacts or footprint reside in three phases of products lifecycle; the manufacturing, market and end of life phases. We also recognise that packaging sustainability must encompass a full lifecycle approach to prevent hidden environmental trade-offs. Our employees strive to continuously improve our performance in each of these phases.
