A carbon-neutral packaging certification (such as PAS 2060 or ClimatePartner) verifies that the net greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing your boxes have been calculated, reduced, and offset to zero:
### The 3 Steps to Certified Carbon-Neutral Packaging:
1. Carbon Footprint Calculation: Measuring Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across raw paper harvesting, ink manufacturing, press electricity, and transport.
2. Internal Reductions: Switching pressrooms to 100% renewable solar/wind energy, optimizing truck routes, and eliminating solvent VOCs.
3. Certified Gold Standard Offsets: Compensating for unavoidable residual emissions by investing in verified reforestation and renewable energy projects.
### Label on Packaging:
Brands receive an authorized Climate Neutral tracking logo with a unique QR code verifying the offset on each box.
