Australian Packaging Covenant Signatory (APCO)
Pakko is dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact by adhering to the 2025 National Packaging Targets as a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant (APCO).

The Pathway To 2025
Achieving our goals for a sustainable packaging future depends on how we collaborate, co-operate and work together. As we work towards a fully sustainable future,
Meeting and, in some cases, exceeding the 2025 National Packaging Targets is about engaging with our team, our customers and our suppliers at every stage of the packaging production process.

Firstly, take stock. Review the materials you are currently using and determine what is sustainable and what isn’t.
Take a close look at your supply chain and production stages, assess and take steps to understand every stage concerning sustainable vs. non-sustainable.
Ask them to help with transitioning to materials that are 100% recyclable,
that encourages innovation using renewable materials like cardboard, paper and wood fibre.
Outline your own vision for sustainable design across every level of the design process.
Engage both your suppliers and customers in your plan! Ask for feedback and share information at every stage in the sustainability process.
Join organisations like the APOC or use Environmental organisations to help create packaging like the FSC
