FBA’s Cory Martin Highlights Corrugated’s Sustainability Edge at Pack Expo

FBA Executive Vice President Cory Martin took the stage at Pack Expo in Las Vegas last week as part of the event's Industry Speaks series, making a compelling case for corrugated packaging as both an environmental and economic win.

Drawing on findings from the Capgemini Research Institute, Martin noted that a majority of retail executives now recognize sustainable practices as drivers of business efficiency, not just environmental responsibility. He noted that corrugated packaging delivers on both fronts.

The material's lightweight, custom-fit design reduces shipping costs while enabling lighter truck loads. The result? Lower greenhouse gas emissions, a critical metric for retailers, grocers, and consumer packaged goods companies working to meet their sustainability goals.

As companies face increasing pressure to balance profitability with environmental stewardship, Martin's presentation underscored how corrugated packaging offers a proven solution that serves both the bottom line and the planet.
