AE Global<\/a>, a leader in custom packaging solutions, has expanded its partnership with rePurpose Global<\/a>, the world\u2019s leading Plastic Action Platform. Together, they offer an innovative sustainability program that supports ocean-bound plastic cleanup efforts from funds saved on packaging costs and supply chain efficiencies.<\/p>\n “Our customers care about impact. Partnering with rePurpose Global allows us to confidently guide our packaging customers to a sustainability<\/a> strategy that is verifiable, scalable, and affordable,” said Mike Forenza, Managing Partner at AE Global. “As a third-party user of rePurpose Global\u2019s services for two years, we\u2019ve seen the impressive work they do first-hand. Now as RePurpose Global\u2019s official packaging partner, we\u2019re eager to get more businesses involved in the winnable fight against the plastic in our waterways and oceans.”<\/p>\n With this partnership, AE Global can offer customers packaging solutions that are certified Plastic Negative or Plastic Neutral\u2014attracting earth-conscious consumers and increasing profitability by building brand trust. When a packaging solution is deemed Plastic Neutral it signifies that rePurpose Global will remove an equal amount of plastic from the environment as was used in that package. A Plastic Negative certification indicates that more than double the amount of plastic used to make a packaging solution is being removed from nature.<\/p>\n Prior to the official partnership, rePurpose has recovered 383,932 pounds of ocean-bound plastic funded by AE Global. This impact is equivalent to removing 9.6 million plastic bottles<\/a> from the environment.<\/p>\n “We\u2019re removing the barriers that often prevent companies from undertaking sustainability initiatives,” said Svanika Balasubramanian, CEO and Co-Founder of rePurpose Global. “By working with AE Global, we\u2019re helping brands turn plastic responsibility into a competitive advantage\u2014without added complexity or cost. By harnessing our collective reach, we will inspire more brands to take action, drive more investment into global recovery and recycling infrastructure, create cleaner communities, and make a tangible difference in protecting our planet.”<\/p>\n In addition to rePurpose Global\u2019s large-scale plastic recovery efforts, the partnership provides AE Global\u2019s customers a vehicle for communicating environmental impact: Talk Trash, powered by Small Circle. Talk Trash empowers brands to illustrate impact with credibility through marketing tools, impact reports, and Plastic Negative or Plastic Neutral seals on packaging solutions.<\/p>\n With increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging and rising regulations on plastic use, this partnership represents a scalable and replicable model for businesses passionate about combating the plastic crisis while maintaining operational efficiency. AE Global\u2019s vertically integrated supply chain ensures that eco-conscious packaging solutions remain cost-effective, customizable and accessible across industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
