With a skilled and comprehensive team of creative minds and technical experts, the GreenChoice portfolio has been designed to help our customers make informed decisions that benefit the environment and make strides towards a green economy.
Three categories of GreenChoice by Wipak
The complete GreenChoice portfolio is based on three distinctive categories – recyclable, renewable, and recycled material content – all with a focus on reducing the CO2 footprint and environmental impact of the packaging as much as possible.
