Our vision of sustainable packaging

Packaging designed for the future

Committed to a more sustainable packaging future

Riverpack places CSR at the heart of its business strategy by integrating the three pillars of sustainable development: social, environmental and economic. We reduce the impact of our packaging by using certified papers from sustainably managed forests, incorporating recycled materials, and limiting the use of plastic. Our manufacturing processes are optimized to reduce their environmental footprint, while ensuring responsible sourcing and a controlled supply chain, where Human beings remain the priority.

An ambitious CSR strategy

A global approach for reduced impact

Since 2017, our CSR policy has been structured around three essential axes that guide all our actions:

Eco-design and sustainable materials: choice of certified, recycled and recyclable materials.
Supply chain management: transparency and traceability ensuring responsible sourcing.
Respect for humanity and the environment: human rights, working conditions and gender equality at the center of our practices. Measuring our impact and participating in environmental preservation projects.

This approach supports our clients towards sustainable solutions, combining aesthetics and quality.

Innovative & sustainable materials

Acting at every stage of the product life cycle

Our eco-design intervenes from material selection to end-of-life packaging to reduce their environmental impact.

FSC certified papers: guaranteed traceability and sustainable forest management.
Bio-based and renewable materials: paper handles, GOTS certified organic cotton, FSC certified lyocell fibers.
Incorporation of recycled materials: Post Consumer Waste (PCW) fibers reducing the use of virgin resources.
Recyclability optimization: removal of disruptive elements (magnets, superfluous plastic).
Plant-based inks and water-based varnishes: alternatives to mineral oil-based inks.

These choices contribute to reducing our carbon footprint while meeting customer requirements.

A committed range

RIVERGREEN, eco-design applied at every stage

Our RIVERGREEN range embodies our commitment at every stage of the product life cycle. Raw materials are sourced locally, within a radius of less than 100 km around the production site. Manufacturing is carried out in our certified workshops, for total quality control. Flat packaging limits the volume transported, thus reducing logistical impact. Packaging is designed to be reused, with recyclability mostly ensured.
