Earth Day is one of our favorite days of the year here at PakTech. You probably already know why, but we’ll always say it loud and proud: We care about the environment. So much so, in fact, that everything we do – every product we design – is built with sustainability at the forefront of the process.

At PakTech, we design each and every one of our applicators to meet the needs of the businesses that benefit from them. From our largest and most complex machines to our smallest and most convenient, every detail is set in place with our clients in mind. That’s why we’re so proud to introduce the latest in our line of top-quality machines, the CCA MicroPak.

We at PakTech are proud of our recycling program. Alongside with our 100% recycled plastic packaging solutions, the recycling program supports our commitment to sustainability. These initiatives have helped us repurpose the equivalent of over half a billion (644,203,483 to be exact) discarded milk jugs, keeping roughly 83 million pounds of plastic out of the waste stream. This is plastic that wasn’t sent to a landfill (or the ocean), but was instead repurposed, often multiple times!
