Glass

Our glass packaging solutions offer both premium quality and sustainability, making them a top choice for eco-conscious brands. Glass is 100% recyclable, can be reused infinitely without losing quality, and offers excellent barrier properties that protect product integrity. The glass bottle molding process uses recycled cullet to lower energy use and emissions, with lightweighting enhancing sustainability and transport efficiency. Customization options like screen printing, frosting, and sustainable labels enhance branding while maintaining eco-friendly standards, ensuring both functional quality and premium aesthetic appeal.

Aluminum

Metal bottles, jars, and collapsible tubes are ideal for sustainable, protective packaging across various industries. Produced via impact extrusion, they offer seamless, durable structures with options for vibrant dry-offset printing or full-wrap shrink sleeves for enhanced branding. Metal’s recyclability and lightweight properties make it a top choice for eco-friendly packaging, requiring 95% less energy to recycle than to produce new metal. With excellent barrier properties, it preserves product freshness while reducing CO2 emissions through lighter transportation. NuGen’s commitment to sustainable metal packaging supports the circular economy, conserving resources, and minimizing waste without sacrificing performance or quality.

Plastic PCR (Post-consumer Recycled) Materials

We believe brands can significantly reduce plastic waste by incorporating Plastic PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials. PCR plastic is made from recycled post-consumer waste, diverting waste from landfills and minimizing the need for virgin plastic. This sustainable choice lowers the carbon footprint, conserves resources, and aligns with environmentally conscious consumer expectations. PCR plastic offers versatile applications across industries, including personal care, household products, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging, enabling brands to support a circular economy. By using PCR, brands can showcase their commitment to sustainability and reduce environmental impact without compromising functionality or quality.

Paper

Primary paper packaging offers an eco-friendly alternative for brands seeking to reduce plastic use and align with sustainable practices. Made from renewable, responsibly sourced materials, paper packaging is widely recyclable and lightweight, cutting transportation emissions and costs. With customizable options like flexible paper, rigid paperboard, and advanced barrier coatings, NuGen Packaging supports diverse industries, including food, personal care, and cosmetics. Our responsibly sourced options, such as FSC-certified, recycled, and Kraft paper, meet high sustainability standards. NuGen’s innovative design team works closely with clients to create visually appealing, sustainable solutions that enhance shelf appeal and reduce environmental impact.

Flexibles

One of the most significant advancements in our portfolio is compostable and biodegradable flexible pouches. Pouches offer brands an eco-friendly solution that reduces environmental impact while preserving product quality. Made from innovative plant-based films and biopolymers, these pouches decompose naturally, unlike traditional plastics. Ideal for food, nutraceuticals, personal care, and household products, they meet consumer demand for sustainable packaging. Customizable for brand appeal and performance, these pouches help reduce plastic waste, conserve resources, and align with regulatory standards. By choosing compostable packaging, brands demonstrate a commitment to sustainability that resonates with eco-conscious consumers, contributing to a greener, more responsible market presence.

Compostable & Biodegradable Options

NuGen Packaging offers innovative, eco-friendly biodegradable and compostable packaging options that meet rising consumer demand for sustainability. These materials decompose naturally, reducing waste without harmful residues, and include PLA, bagasse, and sustainably sourced paper. Compostable options return to earth in a closed-loop cycle, while biodegradable options break down under natural conditions. Both types support regulatory compliance, appeal to eco-conscious consumers, and help minimize plastic pollution. Applications span food, cosmetics, and household goods, with each packaging option tailored to maintain product quality and shelf appeal. By choosing biodegradable and compostable packaging, brands contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

Metal Tin

Metal tins, including bottles, jars, and canisters, provide durable and eco-conscious packaging solutions across various industries. Creating sturdy structures that ensure product protection. With various options for printing or full-wrap shrink sleeves, brands can achieve eye-catching, high-quality designs.

Metal tins are highly recyclable, requiring 95% less energy to recycle than producing new metal, making them a key player in sustainable packaging. Their excellent barrier properties preserve product integrity while their lightweight nature reduces transportation emissions. At NuGen Packaging, we are committed to advancing circular economy principles by delivering sustainable metal tin packaging that conserves resources, minimizes waste, and maintains the highest standards of performance and quality.
