Another proud moment for PakTech: we’ve been officially nominated for the 2026 USA Awards in the EcoHealth category, which celebrates solutions that unite environmental sustainability with human health.
It’s easy to overlook the packaging industry’s role in building a healthier future, but smarter choices in materials and processes can make a meaningful difference.
PakTech’s handles are made from 100% recycled HDPE and are recyclable, while our NIR-detectable black handle technology helps improve sortability in recycling streams. Together, these innovations help reduce reliance on virgin plastic and support circularity – an approach backed by independent validation including Sphera and SCS Global Services.
“We are honored by this nomination from Galien Foundation, and proud that our commitment to using 100% recycled HDPE and developing NIR-detectable handles has been recognized by the EcoHealth Chair Committee. Their dedication to innovations advancing both sustainability and human health aligns with our mission and the progress we’re driving in sustainable secondary packaging,” says Gary Panknin, Supply Chain Manager at PakTech.
