Remove One Million Pounds of Packaging Waste Per Year
August 2022
In 2016, Rocket Industrial initiated a promise to remove one million pounds of packaging waste from the landfill through optimization of our clients' packaging, annually. While falling just short of that number the first few years, we are proud to announce in 2020 our goal was first met. Numerous re-engineering projects paired with total costs analysis propelled us past our mark.

By partnering with Rocket Industrial, the manufacturer experienced less product damage from better packaging performance, and was also able to standardize their packaging process across multiple locations.
Incorporating plastic banding and using a dust cover improved the packaging performance, while also reaching sustainability goals by reducing plastic waste by 75% from less stretch film usage. Plastic banding is also more easily recycled than stretch film.
