Fillmore Container Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Packaging

Building a greener future with eco-friendly packaging and responsible manufacturing

Our Environmental Commitment

At Fillmore Container, we believe that business success and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. For over 25 years, we've been pioneering sustainable packaging solutions that protect both your products and our planet.

Since 2018, we've committed to achieving carbon neutrality across our manufacturing operations by 2030. This isn't just a goal—it's a promise backed by concrete actions and measurable results. Every year, we publish detailed sustainability reports documenting our progress, challenges, and lessons learned.

2024 Achievement: We reduced our manufacturing carbon footprint by 18% compared to 2023 baseline through energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy adoption.

Our Sustainable Practices

Recyclable Materials

100% Recyclable Materials

Every container we manufacture is designed for circularity. Our cardboard products contain an average of 85% post-consumer recycled content and are fully recyclable through standard municipal programs.

  • Water-based adhesives: Replace petroleum-based glues, fully biodegradable within 90 days
  • Soy-based inks: Used for all custom printing (contains 20% soy oil minimum)
  • Plastic-free options: Eliminated plastic tape with self-locking designs (reduced plastic use by 12 tons annually)
Industry Impact: By switching to our recyclable containers, clients collectively diverted 2,400 tons of waste from landfills in 2024 (verified through waste audit data).
Energy Efficiency

Renewable Energy & Efficiency

Our manufacturing facilities now generate 45% of their energy needs through on-site solar installations (installed capacity: 2.3 MW across three facilities). The remaining energy comes from wind power purchased through renewable energy credits.

  • LED lighting upgrade: Completed in 2022, reducing lighting energy by 60%
  • Heat recovery systems: Capture waste heat from machinery to heat facilities (saves 340 MWh annually)
  • Smart temperature control: AI-optimized HVAC reduces energy use by 25% during off-peak hours
Measurable Results: Total energy consumption per unit produced decreased by 32% from 2019 to 2024 (normalized for production volume).
Waste Management

Zero Waste Initiative

We achieved 93% waste diversion from landfills in 2024 (up from 87% in 2023). Our goal is 98% by 2026 through continuous process improvements and material innovation.

  • Cardboard scraps: 100% recycled back into production or sold to recyclers
  • Pallet reuse program: 89% of incoming pallets refurbished and reused (avg. 5.2 cycles per pallet)
  • Composting: Organic waste from employee cafeterias composted on-site (diverted 8.5 tons in 2024)
Current Challenge: The remaining 7% consists primarily of contaminated materials and adhesive residues. We're piloting new separation technologies with Stanford University to address this gap.
