Maverick is pleased to announce we continue to improve our green efforts in the packaging industry, not only in our manufacturing of custom and stock closures, but also in our packaging going out to our customers in our new Maverick Boxes.

This week Maverick is launching its two newest boxes out into production as we continue to improve and provide our customers with a sustainable, high quality box to transport customer’s capsules to them.  These two boxes, our newest Champagne box and a longer eco box, give our customer’s a 100% recyclable box, printed using soy based inks, improved stacking for better performance, and redesigned box style for easier assembly and more reuses.

Another great feature of these boxes is its recyclable quality. Maverick has had in place for many years within its green initiative, a recycling program with our boxes where we can have as many as 7 or more uses from each box as we work with our customers to pick up all empty boxes and return them to our Ukiah facility for reuse.  These newest boxes will stand the test against even more uses then before and overall quality improvements our customers have come to count on.

Taking into account the environment our supplier Capital Corrugated & Carton is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified and also works with the Safe Forest Initiative (SFI).  To make sure that all of their efforts in manufacturing are renewable Capital has created a Tree Planting Program and for each box made they plant 4-5 trees to continue the cycle of a sustainability in the environment. More information about their many affiliations with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition and more can be found on at www.capitalcorrugated.com/affiliations.html.

Sustainability is a large part of Maverick as we continue to raise the bar in our industry to maintain and improve our green efforts. We are thrilled to be able to bring more of this element into our boxes and to our customers everywhere.
