AE Global, a provider of packaging solutions, has extended its collaboration with rePurpose Global to offer a sustainability programme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to reduce packaging costs and also fund the cleanup of ocean-bound plastic.<\/p>\n

This collaboration enables AE Global to provide customers with certified \u2018Plastic Negative\u2019 or \u2018Plastic Neutral\u2019 packaging solutions, aligning with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products and helping to build brand trust.<\/p>\n

The Plastic Neutral certification ensures that for every package produced by AE Global, an equivalent amount of plastic is removed from the environment by rePurpose Global.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Plastic Negative certification signifies that more than double the plastic used in the packaging is retrieved from nature.<\/p>\n

Prior to formalising this partnership, rePurpose Global had already recovered 383,932lbs of ocean-bound plastic with funding from AE Global, which is comparable to eliminating nearly 9.6 million plastic bottles from the environment.<\/p>\n

The partnership also introduces Talk Trash, a communication platform powered by Small Circle, to allow AE Global\u2019s customers to showcase their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Through Talk Trash, brands can leverage marketing tools and feature Plastic Negative or Plastic Neutral seals on their packaging to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability credibly.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between AE Global and rePurpose Global reportedly offers a scalable and replicable model for businesses looking to address the plastic crisis without compromising on operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

AE Global\u2019s vertically integrated supply chain ensures that these eco-conscious packaging solutions remain cost-effective, customisable, and widely accessible across various industries.<\/p>\n

AE Global managing partner Mike Forenza said: \u201cOur customers care about impact. Partnering with rePurpose Global allows us to confidently guide our packaging customers to a sustainability strategy that is verifiable, scalable, and affordable.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

AE Global recently merged with<\/a> Acorn East to enhance its industrial packaging capabilities.<\/p>\n
