Leading the way in sustainable packaging

We’re not just recycling—we’re reboxing. At Bay Cities, every box gets
a second (third, even fourth) shot at greatness with eco-friendly packaging and circular solutions that keep both our planet and your brand thriving.

SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS

Packaging a greener future

Lifecycle of a box

We recycle used corrugate with our partner New Indy Paper Mill, then bring it back to life through Encorr, our own corrugator powered by steam from the mill. That means fewer emissions, more comebacks, and closed-loop creativity.

Water-based inks and adhesives

We use water-based adhesives and inks to minimize our environmental footprint, reducing harmful emissions and ensuring safer, cleaner production for every product we create.

Navigating sustainable packaging

We help you navigate the evolving world of sustainable packaging, from understanding regulations like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws to exploring the future of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) scorecards.

Addressing emissions across scope 1, 2, 3

Our dedication to sustainable practices and transparent reporting revealed our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are lower than those of industry peers.

EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY

EPR is here.
Is your packaging ready?

EPR shifts the cost of packaging waste from cities to the brands that create it, funding collection, sorting, and recycling. Fees are based on materials used — recyclable materials like corrugate cost less, hard-to-recycle plastics cost more, which is a built-in incentive to design more sustainable packaging from the start.

Bay Cities helps brands navigate evolving EPR rules and make smarter packaging decisions.

Lower fees increase recycled-content supply — driving future fees down even further.
