Committed to a Sustainable Supply Chain
Our mission is to produce quality packaging & crating to meet the increasing demands for environmentally friendly products and address our customer's obligation to be socially responsible for the environment.
In addition to thoughtful business practices, we have a social good program, One Tree Planted, where we replant the trees consumed in our crating business.
Recycling, or diversion from landfills, of material waste is a key element in TransPak’s drive for a cleaner environment. Annual benchmarks and goal are established for each of our plants and these are measured on a monthly reporting basis.
