Patagonia, a well-known outdoor apparel company, has strengthened its environmental commitments by joining Canopy\u2019s Pack4Good initiative.<\/p>\n

Canopy, a non-profit organisation focused on protecting forests, species, and the climate, works with companies to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging.<\/p>\n

Patagonia\u2019s latest step is part of its broader effort to develop more sustainable solutions for its packaging materials.<\/p>\n

Focus on sustainable packaging materials<\/h2>\n

Since 2013, Patagonia has been working with Canopy to address the environmental damage caused by the production of viscose textiles, particularly the impact on Ancient- and Endangered-classified Forests.<\/p>\n

The company is now expanding its focus to packaging by exploring Next Generation (Next Gen) solutions. These alternatives use more sustainable materials such as agricultural waste rather than traditional sources such as trees.<\/p>\n

The apparel industry\u2019s reliance on paper packaging has contributed to the deforestation of climate-critical regions. Approximately 3.1 billion trees are felled annually for packaging, including delivery boxes and shoe boxes.<\/p>\n
