Interstate Container has released a Web site for its Greencoat® wax-free box, a corrugated packaging solution for companies in need of strong and sustainable moisture-resistant corrugated packaging. The company ships more than 3.2 million wax-alternative boxes each month. The boxes are compostable and Fiber Box Assn.-certified 100% recyclable and repulpable.

From the Web site, visitors can call or submit a quick form to request Greencoat samples to run in side-by-side trials with their current packaging. The Web site also offers PDF downloads, and links to upcoming trade shows and social media channels.

According to Interstate, Greencoat boxes provide the same strength as traditional cascaded wax boxes and curtain-coated wax boxes. They withstand high exposure to moisture, rough handling, long storage, transportation, and shifts from cold-to-hot environmental conditions. Greencoat boxes are also said to be easier to glue than waxed boxes.

Interstate Container controls 100% of Greencoat’s manufacturing process; the company does not outsource the coating of paper to third parties, which increases cost effectiveness. Likewise, says Interstate, customers experience cost savings when they no longer have to pay landfill disposal fees.

Interstate Container Cambridge invested five years of R&D to develop and trial Greencoat wax-alternative boxes with leading poultry processor Mountaire Farms. Greencoat has reduced an estimated 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases for Mountaire Farms, lowered costs, and streamlined Mountaire Farm’s supply chain.
