In today’s world, sustainability is on everyone’s mind: organic farming, renewable materials, reducing food waste, recycling options and more.

What if we considered sustainability from a holistic view? There is more than one perspective to consider. We need to look at the sum. At the end of the day, it’s not only about the actual product we consume, it’s also about production, logistics, working conditions, packaging and much more.

At Elopak, we believe that good products deserves good packaging. We want to empower companies and consumers alike to make the most responsible choices. We’re passionate about providing a natural and convenient alternative to plastic bottles. That’s why we make cartons from renewable materials, so that you have a choice – a natural choice.

Thank you to BBC Storyworks Commercial Productions and Food Drink Europe for including us in this series.

The video was produced in Røros, a small mining town in Norway. Røros is known for its characteristic 17th and 18th century buildings which led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. The town is surrounded by beautiful nature and thus an ideal location for this video production. It’s also the hometown of our customer Rørosmeieriet featuring in the video, and we want to extend our gratitude to you for contributing to the video and being of assistance prior to and during the video production.

The video is featuring two of our employees who worked with the launch of the Natural Brown Board carton. The film is based on their experience working with this launch, as well as their personal beliefs and stories. Thank you to Ingrid and Håvard for contributing and for making the production a fun experience.
