American Pet Nutrition Launches Environment-Friendly Packaging![](/sites/default/files/10_american_pet_2.png)
American Pet Nutrition has launched a partnership with Morris Packaging, it has a unique manufacturing process for packaging that focuses on minimizing energy consumption, utilizing recycled goods and ultimately reducing the environmental impact.
APN selected the company because of its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly manufacturing.
“We believe we are the only company in North America implementing this number of sustainable and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes,” said Joe Fiore, Vice President, Sales & Marketing at Morris Packaging. “We strive to make our world a ‘greener’ place, one step at a time.”
In an effort to conserve natural resources for future generations, Morris Packaging uses a variety of low-impact machines and processes, with none of its dryers or presses running off of natural gas. The Flextreme Dryer System utilizes compressed air which reduces the motor horsepower requirement, reducing energy consumptions by 33 percent. When not running, the dryer system remains in idle mode, which cuts the time it takes to reheat in half, resulting in a major reduction of waste in defects. In addition to the dryer, Morris Packaging uses PCMC Fusion Presses for its printing process. These presses have a quick stop feature which reduces raw material usage by a rate of 77.78 percent.
