There are official data numbers on wood waste as a resource, landfill avoidance, forest health, carbon emissions, and the environmental product declaration. In addition to research findings, Naturespackaging.org provides marketing tools such as customer handouts, which summarize key questions that can be downloaded directly from the website. There is also the carbon calculator, which allows a user to input the number of pallets reused, recycled, and saved from landfills per month and receive the CO2 emissions saved per month along with the equivalent amount of cars taken off the road. Popular tools like these provide your business with reliable data for your customers to make an informed decision about their choice for packaging.

The content at Nature’s Packaging is relevant, data-driven, and third-party verified. The research is readily accessible to educate and inform customers, packaging specialists, and packaging students of wood’s environmental benefits over alternative packaging materials. All of the research is available to share with your colleagues, sales teams, and customers.

Nature’s Packaging is an essential project of the Pallet Foundation, and it continues to evolve with additional support by NWPCA, CWPCA, and WPA. The campaign continues to provide the research tools that answer the question “why wood” and to highlights the importance of healthy forests, healthy markets, and healthy communities. We are growing twice than what is removed by our industry. We are planting significantly more to expand our forest cover. We have the potential to use even more. Nature’s Packaging provides a whole new area of opportunity for the wood packaging industry, and it gives us the tools to tell this great story.
