Curtis Packaging has purchased enough clean, renewable energy to account for 100 percent of its electricity needs. The estimated environmental benefits of its renewable energy purchase are equivalent to saving 400,000 gallons of gasoline or offsetting the electricity use of 466 homes for one year.

Curtis Packaging is reportedly the first printing and packaging company in North America to be 100 percent carbon neutral, to use 100 percent renewable energy and to be FSC certified. Curtis has also joined the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, which advocates the use of materials and systems that promote economic and environmental health.
