Sustainability
The Curtis Commitment
We believe in the importance of environmental stewardship and feel it is a responsibility of our company to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
We have maintained a leadership position and relish our impeccable reputation for producing exceptionally high-quality packaging with efficient processes in a carbon-neutral facility. This has led to investments in renewable energy, reliance on responsibly sourced materials, and implementation of a recycling take-back process to ensure our materials are not adding to waste streams.
We continually monitor, manage, and invest in best practices to ensure we are at the forefront of protecting our environment.
We are a Zero Waste to Landfill facility.
Renewable Energy
Curtis uses 100% renewable energy, with 25% generated from our on-site solar arrays, and we are recognized by the EPA as a Green Power Partner.
Sustainable Sourcing
We are proud to provide our clients with a wide variety of environmentally responsible raw materials.

Show Your Company’s Commitment
Through our partnerships, we can offer our clients a number of options to display their environmental responsibility and sustainable sourcing positions on their product packaging.
All of our clients have the ability to display carbon neutral and wind energy identifiers. Additionally, they can include the following statement: “Carton Manufactured with Renewable Energy in a Carbon Neutral Facility.”
We offer stock choices certified to the Forest Stewardship Council® and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® standards. We will work with you to find the right stock for your needs and help you apply the appropriate identifiers.

We work with several non-profit partners to continue our environmental stewardship efforts.
