Design for Sustainability

Since 1996 when Dordan Manufacturing began developing expertise in thermoforming recycled PET (RPET), we have developed a four-step design-for-sustainability process that helps customers achieve measurable sustainability improvements. This process entails:

• Lower product-to-package ratio
• Materials selection
• Materials reduction
• Sustainability documentation

As experts in thermoforming with almost 50 years of experience and extensive knowledge of sustainability as it pertains to packaging, allow us to work with you to design and manufacture the most eco-efficient package for your specific packaging application.
