The Circular Economy in Action
Every year, millions of tons of industrial packaging end up in landfills despite having plenty of useful life left. At Colorado Packaging, we believe in a better way. By extending the life of packaging through reuse, repair, and responsible recycling, we're keeping valuable materials in circulation and reducing the environmental impact of industrial operations.
Our business model is built on sustainability. When you buy used packaging from us, you're choosing products that would otherwise go to waste. When you sell us your surplus, you're ensuring it gets a second life. And when packaging truly reaches end-of-life, our recycling programs ensure materials are recovered, not landfilled.
Our Environmental Impact
Recycling Rate
Of all materials we handle, 95% are reused, repaired, or recycled — not landfilled.
Items Diverted
Thousands of pallets, gaylords, and IBCs given a second life every year.
Carbon Reduction
Using recycled packaging reduces carbon footprint by up to 60% vs. new production.
Waste to Landfill
Our goal: zero packaging waste going to landfills. Materials are always recovered.
Our Sustainable Practices
Reuse First
Our primary goal is to extend the useful life of packaging. We carefully inspect and grade all incoming materials, ensuring that anything still functional gets another chance to serve its purpose rather than being discarded.
Repair & Refurbish
Damaged packaging isn't trash — it's an opportunity. Our repair services restore pallets, reinforce gaylords, and fix IBC cages, extending their lifespan significantly at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of new production.
Quality Standards
We maintain strict quality standards to ensure used packaging performs reliably. This reduces waste from premature failures and gives our customers confidence that sustainable choices don't mean compromising on quality.
Responsible Recycling
When packaging truly reaches end-of-life, we ensure materials are properly recycled. Cardboard becomes new paper products, wood is processed into mulch or fuel, plastics are reprocessed, and metals are recovered — nothing goes to waste.
Local Focus
By operating locally in Colorado, we reduce transportation emissions. Shorter distances for pickup and delivery mean less fuel consumption and a smaller carbon footprint for our operations.
