ATLANTA, July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritiv
Corporation (NYSE: VRTV), a North American leader in
business-to-business distribution solutions, now offers a
paperboard-based packaging option made with 100% sugarcane bagasse
fibers, an annually renewable, tree-free fiber source that is both
recyclable1 and compostable2.
Veritiv teamed up with Carvajal Pulp and Paper to market Earth
Pact® paperboard. Some Veritiv customers have already experienced
the benefits of the Earth Pact® line of products. When one such
customer, Biossance, with its brand promise of sustainability in
skincare, sought new packaging, Veritiv offered a solution that
reinforced Biossance's brand promise and position with Earth
Pact®.
Biossance needed not only sustainable paperboard but also
structural and graphic package designs, kitting services,
transportation, warehousing services, and more. With its network of
approximately 170 distribution centers, Veritiv proved to be the
optimal supplier. Biossance's creative packaging won the coveted
Audience Choice Award at the Cosmoprof North America Beauty Trade
Show in 2017 and other major packaging awards.
With the Earth Pact® line of products and designers at Veritiv's
packaging design centers, Veritiv is positioned to create new and
sustainable package designs that stand out on the shelf, minimize
dimensional weight and give customers an exceptional out-of-the box
experience.
