Recycled paper becomes product packaging

Protecting our products with re-designed packaging allows us to reuse material and minimize waste. Lexmark supplies-packaging engineers designed a process to create molded pulp cushions composed of used paper. Cost-effective and practical, these packaging cushions not only provide excellent protection for our cartridges during shipping but can also be recycled. They are made from 100 percent post-consumer waste. In 2021, our pulp cushions gave over 190 metric tons of used paper a second life protecting our cartridges.

For our efforts on this project, Lexmark was recognized as a Manufacturing Leadership 100 Award winner (ML 100) in the Sustainability Category. Presented by the Manufacturing Leadership Council, the ML100 Awards honor businesses that shape the future of global manufacturing.
