We are working hard to constantly improve our policies and transparency throughout our supply chain. We want to do good and are always looking for ways that we can improve.

Design for Good

Our team selects high-quality, durable materials because making products that last is better for the environment. More durable products mean less energy consumption and less water usage, resulting in less waste for the landfill.  

 

Durability Testing

To ensure that we make products that last, we have extensive internal durability testing in place. We stand by 100% what we make.

RESTRICTED SUBSTANCE LIST (RSL)

Pacsafe is committed to eliminating all harmful substances in our supply chain. We use guidelines on restricted chemical lists in REACH and conduct independent 3rd party testing of components used in our products.

 

REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals is a European Union regulation dating from 18 December 2006. REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment.
More information on REACH can be found here REACH - Chemicals - Environment - European Commission (europa.eu)

PFC FreeAll Pacsafe products manufactured after July 1, 2020 are 100% PFC Free.

Pacsafe Testing Policy for REACH

Pacsafe will ensure to the best of our ability to have all components tested for compliance of REACH when they are developed, prior to launching these into the marketplace. Once these components have been tested and are verified by an independent 3rd party testing facility and are found to in compliance with REACH no change to the raw materials, manufacturing or component supplier is allowed. If there is any change to any of these 3 variables, the component must once again be independently tested and passed before the component is used in the supply chain.
Each year we will carry out random tests of components to check that they are in compliance with REACH.

PACSAFE PACKAGING POLICY

 

The purpose of this policy is to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging by optimizing consumer packaging, increasing recycling and recovery rates, and contributing to cleaner recycling streams.

Pacsafe considers four key principles in the design, development, procurement, and recycling of packaging to improve Packaging Sustainability and reduce the environmental impacts of its packaging.

It is the responsibility of all employees involved in the design of labels and packaging, and sourcing and development of Pacsafe packaging to follow this policy.

Our packaging design must consider the overall impact on the environment, minimizing the amount of packaging material used while maintaining the basic functions of packaging and minimizing product waste.

Our sustainable packaging aspirations aim to:

  • Use FSC certified packaging materials in our packaging wherever possible.
  • Ensure all packaging is recyclable, compostable, or reusable.
  • Optimize packaging design to use the fewest materials necessary.
  • Promote the use of materials that can be recycled or recovered.
  • Minimize post-industrial waste.
  • Avoid negative impacts to the environment.
  • Achieve a lower carbon footprint by ensuring efficient energy usage across the product lifecycle.
  • No PVC
  • No laminates
  • No composites
  • No chlorine bleaches
  • No heavy-metal based print dyes
  • No laminating/ laminated coatings
  • No fill materials from plastic or Styrofoam
  • No VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) -emitting labels or adhesive tape
  • No materials from illegally harvested wood or High Conservation Value Forests

To further reduce our impact we follow these points in addition when considering packaging.

  • Maintain standardized packaging across multiple product lines and sales channels to use resources efficiently.
  • Work with vendors to continually identify better packaging and merchandising options that reduce environmental impacts.
  • Use only reusable and/or recyclable packaging materials as available and appropriate.
  • Paper and plastic packaging should have the highest possible post-consumer waste (PCW) content that meets requirements for functionality and quality: Our goal is to use materials made from 100% recycled content.
  • Maximize the yield on substrates and paper rolls when negotiating and evaluating product.
  • Request that materials not be shrink wrapped.
  • Source catalog paper from FSC certified material or with at least 30% PCW content
  • Use stickers to correct printing mistakes and avoid reprinting and associated waste.
  • Review vendors’ environmental practices, including FSC and SFI certification of their papers and waste management in their facilities, as part of the RFP process.
  • Maximize use of recycled and recyclable materials for displays and point-of-purchase collateral.
  • Distribution Center to use the most appropriate-sized master box packaging to maximize the use of cargo space and reduce the carbon footprint of each shipment.

Individual Product Polybags

Whilst we all realize they are a major issue we still need them as they:

 

  • Are a requirement from majority of retailers
  • Protect products from moisture, which reduces waste from damaged goods
  • Protect products from mold and damage during transport
  • Protect products from damage or deterioration during storage

Unfortunately, at this stage we cannot eliminate polybags completely from our supply chain, but we are doing our best to reduce the use of individual polybags and moving to recycled polybags wherever possible. We are actively working on solutions to find environmentally sustainable options.

If you have suggestions on how we can better move away from individual polybags please email us

 

 

Our mission at Pacsafe is to protect what is valuable and nothing is more valuable than the planet we travel.

 

Together with our community we are pushing for positive change through positive actions. Since 2014 we have been active in giving back to Turtle Conservation globally. So far (2021) we have granted more than USD $150,000 to grass roots conservation efforts to support turtle conservation.

 

Starting in 2020 we also pledged 1% of all online sales will go directly to Turtle conservation through grants distributed by Pacsafe’s Turtle Fund.
