Sustainable Packaging Solution Eliminates Corrugated Shipping Boxes – and More
October 15, 2009

A Little Ripp n Take Replaces Lots of Corrugated Boxes
Recently we wrote about Ripp n Take ®, an exciting new packaging product we are now offering in Phoenix and throughout Arizona. RippnTake is a bundling material that replaces corrugated shipping boxes – a very important sustainable packaging benefit. In the photo above, you can see how much packaging bulk is eliminated when a given number of boxes are replaced by the RippnTake equivalent. In addition to eliminating packaging waste, RippnTake has several other eco friendly packaging characteristics.
- Less energy is used to produce Ripp ‘n’ Take than corrugated shipping boxes.
- Fewer incoming trucks to schedule, handle, unload etc.
- Less diesel fuel required to deliver Ripp ‘n’ Take to your facility.
- 5 times fewer truck shipments required to deliver Ripp ‘n’ Take, yeilding a drastic reduction is carbon emissions.
- Fewer forklift movements needed to keep the production floor supplied, dramatically reducing battery charging, overall lift truck maintenance and production floor traffic.
- Trash trips and the fill rate of receptacles at end-users are greatly reduced.
- Landfill space consumed (if not recycled) is much less than bulky corrugated cartons.
Taken together, these sustainable benefits have a substantial positive impact on our environment. The environmental impact of packaging materials is important to us and our customers. RippnTake is a truly innovative packaging system (they don’t come along very often) that can help shippers dramatically improve sustainability – without sacrificing quality or spending more money.
