MarCon Solutions: Leading the Way in Sustainable Packaging

At MarCon Solutions, our commitment to sustainability drives innovation at every level of our operations. Through our Container Sustainability Program, we are proud to support global plastic sustainability initiatives while maintaining the performance and compliance our customers expect.

Our program is built on a foundation of bold, measurable goals:

• Reduce virgin resin usage in our container products to lessen environmental impact.

• Offset high-grade PCR resin costs with a more affordable grey PCR alternative, without compromising quality.

• Increase PCR content while preserving FDA compliance.

• Lower container weight by 7–8%, contributing to both material savings and reduced shipping emissions.

• Cut energy consumption by running production on more efficient, eco-friendly equipment.

Impactful Results Through Smarter Processes

Our latest advancements have yielded impressive outcomes:

• Achieved an 11.1% reduction in virgin resin use.

• Decreased color concentrate by 8.1%, minimizing chemical usage.

• Raised PCR content from 25% to 27%, further reducing reliance on new plastic.

• Engineered a three-layer structure that sandwiches a lower-grade, non-FDA PCR core between FDA-compliant virgin resin layers—maintaining safety while lowering costs.

• Reduced the overall container weight by 8.1%, exceeding our original target.

These results are a testament to MarCon’s proactive approach to environmental responsibility. We continue to innovate for a cleaner, more sustainable future—without compromising quality, compliance, or customer satisfaction.
