"Sustainability is a core principle of our company since its inception and we try to infuse that into everything we do as a leading cannabis packaging innovator," said Thom Brodeur, CEO of N2 Packaging, in the press release. "We are proud to join the other members of the SCC, and look forward to working with them to support the cannabis industry's objectives around reducing waste, reducing carbon footprint, and processing and packaging in more eco-friendly ways."
Launched in 2021, the Sustainable Cannabis Coalition is a group of cannabis industry leaders that work together to improve and promote sustainability across all verticals of the cannabis industry, including cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution. N2 joins other members of the coalition including GMP Collective, Culta, Valiant, Trulieve, CohnReznick, and 365 Cannabis, and will use its platform to encourage its customers to join them in prioritizing sustainability in 2022 and beyond.
The company is laser focused on completely eliminating the use of plastics in cannabis packaging by 50% over the next ten years. Over the course of the pandemic, N2 also made a critical decision to move its manufacturing operations back to North America from China, in an effort to further reduce its carbon footprint by 75%, and to guarantee domestic supply of packaging needs for its customers.
N2 is also a member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, a membership-based organization that believes in the power of the industry to make packaging more sustainable. The organization brings together leading sustainable packaging stakeholders to catalyze actionable improvements to packaging systems and lend an authoritative voice on issues related to packaging sustainability.
