Eco-friendly packaging
How we share matters
Gorton’s goal is to reduce our carbon footprint and to help lead the way towards more sustainable practices. Sustainable packaging is a driving focus in Gorton’s efforts to distribute responsibly sourced and made products.
Since 2012, 100% of our fiber packaging is sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified materials. Presently, 1/3 of Gorton’s products are packaged in recyclable materials, and we are currently working on solutions to expand our sustainable packaging even further.
