A great sustainability resource I found
August 12, 2008
We talk a lot around here about sustainable packaging, and for good reason. It’s an issue that affects everyone, both inside and outside of the packaging world.
One of the better resources on the web for those interested in the topic is Inside Sustainable Packaging by Salazar Packaging. There are plenty of good resources on the web that talk about this key subject, but Salazar’s perspective is unique – they actually sell packaging.
Now, that might make you immediately suspect that the blog’s comments would be hopelessly skewed – after all, they’re in the biz of peddling packaging, regardless of how “green” their products may or may not be.
But in reading through it, I’ve found the company’s blog to be thoughtful and balanced. What’s more, being in the business seems to give it a level of insight unique among many similar sites discussing the topic.
Definitely worth giving it a look.

Thank you David. It is very gratifying to be recognized by someone who has a terrific blog and understands the challenges. We refer to our perspective as "street level" because that is where we operate which we believe makes it easier to relate to our clients' problems as well as their objectives. We sincerely appreciate your post and welcome your advice and guidance. Dennis Salazar President Salazar Packaging, Inc.
