Sustainability is no longer a buzzword, it’s something businesses are expected to live by. Packaging plays a big role in this. Brands and buyers now ask the tough questions: Is it recyclable? How much recycled content does it use? Were the materials responsibly sourced? For suppliers in Sri Lanka, being able to answer those questions with confidence is what builds real trust.
At JPI, we’ve shaped our approach to packaging around responsibility. Every product we make is designed to balance strength with sustainability, because we believe packaging shouldn’t just protect what’s inside it should also protect the world outside.
Virgin vs. Recycled Plastic
Not all plastic has the same footprint. Virgin plastic, made directly from petrochemicals, offers clarity and strength but comes at a higher environmental cost. Recycled plastic, on the other hand, gives existing material a second life. At JPI, we don’t take an all-or-nothing approach; we combine both, carefully adding recycled content wherever possible while keeping packaging strong, safe, and compliant. It’s our way of keeping plastic in circulation and out of landfills.
Sustainable Practices in Our Facilities
Eco-friendly packaging isn’t only about what goes into the product it’s about how it’s made. In our facilities, we reduce offcuts, reuse byproducts, and follow strict waste management processes. Efficiency is built into every step, so we lower our environmental footprint while keeping solutions affordable for the businesses that depend on us.
Recyclability by Design
The true test of eco-friendliness is what happens at the end of a package’s life. That’s why we design with recyclability in mind. From clear material labeling to simpler, more efficient designs, our packaging is created to easily re-enter recycling streams instead of being discarded.
Certifications and Responsible Sourcing
Sustainability isn’t something you can just claim it needs proof. That’s why we hold certifications like ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 22000:2018 for food safety, and FSSC 22000 for food-grade packaging safety. These globally recognized standards show that our processes are independently audited and responsibly managed. For procurement teams and CSR-focused brands, it’s assurance that our packaging is sustainable in practice, not just in promise.
Why It Matters for Brands
For today’s socially conscious brands, packaging is often the first message you send to consumers. Choosing eco-friendly packaging shows care, responsibility, and forward thinking all values that win loyalty. For exporters, it also means meeting the stricter sustainability expectations of international markets, opening doors to long-term growth.Looking for eco-friendly packaging in Sri Lanka?
