NEXGEN PACKAGING AND SEAMAN PAPER PARTNER TO BRING A DYNAMIC PORTFOLIO OF PLASTIC-FREE SOLUTIONS TO THE RETAIL, APPAREL AND FOOTWEAR INDUSTRIES
As brands seek sustainable alternatives to plastic in their collections, that focus extends to hanging and packaging solutions. Some 180 billion polybags are produced annually to protect apparel, footwear and accessories during transport and storage. According to Fashion for Good, less than 15% of poly bags are recycled.
Nexgen Packaging and Seaman Paper are dedicated to reducing the fashion and footwear industries' reliance on single-use plastic. In 2023, Nexgen Packaging was awarded "Design Team of the Year" by UK Packaging for its work with Primark on developing a catalog of paper fiberboard hangers. Seaman Paper offers a wide range of fiber-based packaging alternatives to single-use plastics. Their Vela line, recently honored with the "Innovation in Sustainability Award" by the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) as part of its 2023 Better Practices, Better Planet Sustainability Awards program, is an FSC™ certified recyclable solution and is in use with hundreds of brands across the globe.
"We are thrilled to partner with Seaman Paper to bring their innovative offerings - including the Vela product line - to more brands and manufacturers globally," said Kevin DeSpain , Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Nexgen Packaging. "This collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability in our industry and providing our customers with transparency and scale in their supply chain."
"We're excited to partner with Nexgen," said Dave Deger , Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer at Seaman. "By combining Nexgen's extensive supply chain capabilities and diverse product range with our innovative Vela solutions and robust global manufacturing network, we're uniquely positioned to help brands accelerate their sustainability goals and elevate their packaging strategies worldwide."
