Delta Global launches new future proof sustainable packaging

Packaging Solutions

Delta Global has launched the FutureBox, an innovative new packaging design that it calls ‘the ultimate luxury box for the future of our planet’. It is the first in a series of new innovations under the heading of DeltaGlobalOriginals.

The Leicester based firm has designed the FutureBox to ensure the highest sustainability standards. The packaging uses no tape, has flatpack functionality and has easy assembly functionality. This makes it simple to fully recycle and is cost effective at the production stage. The materials used are FSC accredited. Crucially, the box requires no magnets for secure closure, an addition that prevents even the most ‘sustainable’ packaging from being fully recyclable.

Robert Lockyer, CEO of Delta Global, said: ‘COP26 will see world leaders leverage the post pandemic rebuild as way to accelerate eco friendly policy making. It is less likely that sustainability efforts will rely on good will but will be led by laws and policies that require luxury brands to meet environmental standards.

‘The FutureBox makes it easy for brands to meet these standards and flourish in this new economy.’

Each box can be tailored to both brand aesthetics and sustainability goals. Foiling and water based finishes can be incorporated into the packaging design. Its versatility makes it optimised for the modern luxury brand, with many heritage labels increasing sustainability efforts to align with consumer, investor, and government policy demands.

The luxury fashion sector is under scrutiny for the excessive package and textile waste it produces. As much as 88% of newly listed items on e-commerce websites contain plastics, while 85% of all textiles in the US are thrown into landfills.
