Salazar Packaging, Inc. President Discusses New Line of 100% Recycled Content (PCW) Corrugated Boxes in Podcast
Plainfield, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2008 -- Companies attempting to maximize the sustainability of their packaging have had limited options on corrugated containers. Now, with Salazar Packaging Inc.'s (http://www.salazarpackaging.com) new Globe Guard? boxes, shippers can obtain 100% post-consumer recycled content boxes in virtually any style and quantity without sacrificing quality.
In a highly informative podcast released June 24, 2008, Salazar Packaging president, Dennis Salazar, spoke with Ken Rayment of Better Process about the characteristics of Globe Guard? boxes, misunderstood recycling terms, and the current state of sustainable corrugated packaging.

Podcast Highlights
1. Standard corrugated typically contains only 25-35% recycled material, consisting mainly of in-plant waste.
2. Corrugated manufacturers are reluctant to guarantee percentages of recycled content due to manufacturing constraints.
3. Globe Guard? boxes are guaranteed to be made from 100% post-consumer waste material.
4. Customers do not sacrifice quality with Globe Guard? - the boxes conform to industry standards.
5. With today's emphasis on environmental issues and the free flow of information on the Web, "greenwashing", or sending an inconsistent eco message, poses serious risks for manufacturers and distributors. Even secondary corrugated containers are being scrutinized by consumers.
