What Sustainable Packaging Industries actually makes
Sustainable Packaging Industries (SPI) manufactures molded pulp packaging, GreenKraft clamshells, die-cut inserts, tab boxes, sleeves and display stands, plus screen printing, built from recycled paper fiber and natural fibers like sugarcane bagasse, bamboo and wheat straw. The materials are 100% biobased, plastic-free, bleach-free, dye-free and glue-free, aimed at small and mid-size brands that need packaging without committing to plastic tooling runs.
“Working with Sustainable Packaging Industries let us finally match our packaging to what our product actually stands for.”
Robert Marshall, The Dapper Guru

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory
Molded pulp packaging is one of the few plastic-free formats that scales to real production runs without forcing a brand to redesign its product. By keeping the material 100% biobased and glue-free, SPI removes a category of packaging waste that otherwise never fully composts. That is a direct link to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
