<p>CPG is in the forefront of developing environmentally friendly films for all applications. Among them are: Post Consumer Resin, Bio-Degradable Polyethylene, Photo-Degradable Polyethylene, Re-cycled Polyethylene CPG performs packaging audits on existing packaging/specifications to reduce the amount of packaging materials used in a given application without compromising on the durability, performance, and appearance of the package.

Energy efficiency is a major area of focus in CPGs’ environmental sustainability initiatives. To reduce energy usage in our manufacturing locations, we have recently: • Replaced the high intensity discharge lights with more efficient fluorescent lighting and LED lighting • In our warehouse, we have Installed lighting controls to ensure that areas are only lit when they are occupied • Adjusted the compressed air settings (in certain areas) to lower the consumption of electric-drive power • Installed variable speed drives on oxidizers in our Ridgefield Park, NJ facility to reduce the volume of natural gas required for incineration. • Installed a recovery system to capture waste heat as a supplement to our natural gas usage.
