At Pontes, sustainability is more than a value, it’s an ongoing commitment that shapes every stage of our operations. As a global reference in natural waxes and producers of the best carnauba wax, we constantly seek ways to reduce environmental impact and strengthen responsible practices across our supply chain.
While kraft-paper packaging has been an established option within our portfolio, we are increasing our emphasis on this material and recommending its wider adoption due to its favourable environmental profile and alignment with international sustainability requirements.
Why Sustainable Packaging Is Essential
Packaging plays a crucial role in the environmental footprint of any product. By transitioning to kraft-paper packaging options, Pontes is offering a solution that is recyclable, biodegradable, and significantly lower in carbon footprint compared with conventional materials. For brands searching for the Best Carnauba Wax packaged sustainably, this offers an effective way to align product performance with environmental responsibility.
This initiative strengthens our commitment to circularity and aligns with global expectations for responsible sourcing, particularly in sectors such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, food and automotive industries increasingly driven by eco-conscious consumers and strict environmental regulations.
Kraft Paper Packaging: A Low-Impact Alternative
Our kraft-paper packaging was designed with purpose:
• Sustainably sourced and compatible with recycling systems worldwide;
• Reduced plastic usage, supporting clients who prioritise low-carbon materials;
• Durable and safe for transporting premium waxes;
• Biodegradable, supporting a cleaner product lifecycle.
By offering this packaging option, Pontes helps clients reduce the environmental footprint of every shipment of Carnauba Wax while maintaining the same standards of performance, safety and logistics efficiency.
Supporting Clients with Clear Recycling Instructions
Sustainability does not end when the product leaves our facilities. To ensure proper disposal and alignment with global environmental legislation, Pontes provides detailed recycling instructions for all packaging types. These guidelines help our clients:
• Separate materials correctly;
• Comply with local recycling regulations;
• Adopt best practices in waste management;
• Reduce environmental impacts across their own operations.
This is part of our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement throughout the wax supply chain.
Carnauba Wax in Packaging: A Natural Barrier for Protection and Sustainability
Beyond serving as a premium ingredient across multiple industries, Carnauba Wax also plays a strategic role in Sustainable Packaging applications. When used as a natural coating on paper, cardboard or film substrates, carnauba wax acts as an effective barrier against moisture, water and oxidation, preserving product integrity while eliminating the need for synthetic additives. Natural waxes such as carnauba wax are non-toxic and makes it ideal for use in food-safe packaging.
In addition to protection, carnauba wax also enhances functionality, it provides increased durability and extended shelf life, without compromising performance. This combination of protection, renewal and biodegradability makes carnauba wax one of the most efficient natural coating agents available today.
