Our impact on people, market, and environment
Sustainability as a core value
At Europal, we believe that packaging should be smart, fast, and responsible. Sustainability is not a marketing term, but a core value. We help customers achieve their ESG goals by choosing environmentally conscious materials, local production, and a responsible supply chain.
How do we make an impact?
- Use of recyclable and renewable materials
- Minimal waste through efficient production
- Local production = less transport emissions
- Circular solutions such as honeycomb cardboard and Limitless Packaging
- Collaborations with custom companies
How do we translate this into practice?
Discover below some of our focus points.
01
Solar panels and green energy
At our site in Blandain, we invested in a significant capacity of solar panels. Renewable energy is a natural step for us towards a lower CO₂ footprint.
02
Responsible supply chain
We work with suppliers who share the same sustainable values. We set clear requirements in terms of ethics, environment, and traceability. Together, we build a responsible ecosystem.
03
Innovative solutions for sustainable growth
Our R&D teams work daily on packaging solutions that are lighter, more stackable, require less material, and still provide optimal protection. This way, we collectively reduce the environmental impact of each shipment.
04
Certified quality and sustainability
We consciously choose external validation of our processes. Our certificates prove our commitment to quality, safety, and corporate social responsibility.
How do we increase our impact?
Europal aims for a wide range of certifications that independently and broadly demonstrate our qualities. As part of our proactive quality management, there are often ongoing procedures that are only mentioned here after they have been achieved.
FSC
Sustainable forest management
Our FSC certificate emphasizes our commitment to the environment by using paper sourced from forests that are managed according to strict sustainability standards. This certificate indicates that the wood used for our paper comes from forests where responsible forest management is applied, contributing to the protection of our forests for future generations.
BRC
Secondary Packaging and Food Hygiene
With the BRC certificate for secondary packaging, we demonstrate our commitment to food safety and hygiene in indirect contact. This certificate for the Blandain production site guarantees that our packaging solutions meet the highest standards of hygiene and safety, which is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of food products during transport and storage.
