Did you know that one returnable box could replace over 100 cardboard boxes? Not only can we help a company reduce their carbon footprint, returnables can also keep the production lines clean. During Amatech’s design process, we take in account the lines that the packaging is being used. Just like how you figure out a line process, the packaging can be part of the time process. With returnable packaging you can eliminate not only all the cardboard but also any protective films or plastic bags that you would have to just put in the dumpster. Returnables can be a big part of cost savings and help everyone keep a clean line and work space environment.

Cardboard is not only environmentally unhealthy but also can be a harbor of mold! Mold is known to cause respiratory problems, common allergic reaction symptoms, nervous-system disorders and depression. For those that are sensitive to molds, it can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or in some cases, skin irritation. Mold grows well on cardboard that has been exposed to moisture. It is recommended to replace your cardboard storage boxes to reusable plastic to ensure a mold free environment.

Amatech produces packaging that does not support mold growth, emit paper dust or sulfur contaminants, are washable and can even be sterilized, making them suitable for pharmaceutical, biotech, electronic, automobile and general manufacturing and storage environments and some clean-rooms. Corrugated cardboard boxes are not appropriate as storage units in medical or clean supply rooms. Corrugated shipping boxes are not permitted in either clean or sterile storage areas. WHY? Because, the boxes may harbor dust, bacteria, and small insects that have entered during shipping…..and besides the “critters” inside these boxes, they are physically dirty, dusty, wet and moldy from the transportation route. There’s just no telling where these boxes have been! Corrugated cardboard boxes are exposed to unknown and potentially high microbial contamination and should never be allowed in the sterile storage area.
