What’s becoming more apparent each year is that sustainability is not just an option but a requirement, Smith & McLaurin continues to lead with eco-friendly initiatives. The demand for sustainable packaging has never been higher, and we are proud to support businesses in their efforts to reduce their environmental impact. Our AdaptEco range, for example, provides clients with FSC? certified papers, compostable films, and innovative wash-off adhesives like PurityWash, all designed to enhance recyclability and help businesses meet sustainability goals.

By integrating eco-friendly materials into their packaging strategies, businesses can not only meet regulatory requirements but also strengthen their appeal to today’s environmentally conscious consumers.
