SUSTAINABILITY

Privateer LTD. is committed to minimizing our carbon footprint via our:

• Generation of electricity to heat, cool and operate our facility
• Generation and consumption of natural and LP gas
• Generation and production of water used by our business
• Transportation of all employees to and from work
• Transportation of sales staff
• Delivery methods
• Production of the labels, ink, printing plates, plastic bags, copy paper, computers and everything else used and consumed to produce our product
• Waste disposal
• Efficiency

We work with our customers to help them achieve their own initiatives for sustainability. At request, we can reuse the cores we supply you. By routinely picking up used cores from facilities and putting them back into the product cycle, we reuse thousands of cores annually. Additionally, on request, we can send electronic copies of our Certificates of Compliance, eliminating paper waste. 

 

We are also working with our substrate vendors towards similar goals. We source from vendors who make effort to reduce their environmental impact by responsibly sourcing their materials, reducing overall material usage, improving recyclability, and increasing recycled content in the end product. 

 

At the request of customers, we are currently in the process of investigating environmentally friendly alternatives to some of our practices, including:

• Using more eco-friendly liners
• Repurposing options for waste matrices
• Recycled materials used for boxes, cores, and core labeling
• Substitutes towards plastic bags
• Linerless labeling

 

Privateer LTD. recycles its paper, plastic, and cardboard waste.
