SUSTAINABILITY

At the core of our business decisions.

TrendPac is committed to reducing its environmental impact and to proactively make decisions to minimise its contribution to the factors that cause climate change.

As a large manufacturing business, we believe it is our corporate social responsibility to adopt sustainable business practices that have a positive environmental impact.

We are very confident that our current and ongoing investment initiatives will enable our customers to achieve their own packaging goals by 2025.
