The Evolution of the Ecopac

As a part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability we are continually evaluating our design process to be more sustainable. We are proud to announce our most sustainable package ever, the clip package. Our new clip package is the 4th generation of our footbed package, and the 3rd generation of our Ecopac packaging.

Bio-Composite Clip Package
Durable, made with sustainable bio-composite clips, recycled paperboard backing, and paper-based string so you can recycle the hangtags with the backing card. Exhibits product well, decreased material usage, simple assembly, decreased material cost.

More About The Clip
The bio-composite plastic is a combination of industrially recycled wood and post-consumer recycled polypropylene.

The clip is not actually recyclable, but because a small percentage of consumers actually recycle, we decided that making it out of recycled material and replacing some of the petroleum-based material with renewable resources was the more sustainable choice for now.
