Oliver Inc. has announced a partnership with Emerald Brand, an innovator in producing sustainable materials to combat deforestation and limit the use of plastics.
 
The two companies will work together to expand Tree-Free options for use in folding cartons, printed marketing collateral, and more. With Emerald’s technology and Oliver’s creative packaging solutions, this partnership represents both companies’ commitment to sustainability and benefits brands across industries that are looking to implement eco-friendly measures.
 
“We are very proud of the strategic relationship we have with Emerald Brand to use their proven line of tree-free paperboard,” said Doug Doroh, vice president of sales and marketing at Oliver Inc. “While many companies specify recycled and post-consumer waste content paperboard, we have identified a growing list of brands looking for alternatives to traditional paperboard. Together with Emerald, we provide customers with a reliable and consistent supply chain of Tree-Free alternatives.”
 
Since 1997, Emerald Brand has been bringing sustainable, disposable options to businesses nationally. They’re also experts in cost-effectively converting facilities and brands to full-circle sustainability programs. More recently, Emerald has taken their alternative materials and put them to use in the packaging industry.
 
“As we partner with more qualified, strategic converters that understand our mission in delivering a Tree-Free experience to brands across the U.S., education will continue to be at the forefront of our mission,” commented RJ Bianculli, managing director at Emerald Brand. “Brands across all silos including beauty, cosmetics, fashion, and pharmaceuticals are looking for innovative ways to create healthier and more sustainable experiences for their customers and our technology allows them to do just that.”
