Sustainable packaging
for your business and
the environment…

Yes, really.

Sustainability for your business

Sustainable products don’t work if they don’t support your business needs.

Atlas supports utilizing our resources to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Unfortunately, some of the new sustainable packaging products that are hitting the market just don’t hold up, leaving the safety of shipping your products in trouble. You can count on Atlas packaging products to protect your products in transit.

Protection without the extra weight

Our sustainable protective packaging combines lightweight construction with reliable thermal performance and impact resistance. Made from environmentally friendly packaging materials, our products help businesses reduce shipping costs and their environmental footprint without adding unnecessary weight during transport.

  • Lightweight

    Don’t add unnecessary weight to your packaging. Atlas packaging is super lightweight (98% air!) but extremely durable.

    Less material = less impact

  • Thermal insulation

    Ship and distribute your products knowing that Atlas' sustainable insulated packaging is fully capable of protecting temperature-sensitive goods.

    Keep the cold stuff cold and the hot stuff hot.

  • Impact resistance

    Atlas offers custom sustainable packaging solutions that can be tailored to meet specific weight and shock protection needs.

    Whatever shape you’re shipping, we can shield it.

Yes, you can recycle EPS

EPS supports a circular economy by incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, reducing reliance on virgin materials and minimizing waste. By reclaiming and reprocessing used EPS into new products, Atlas closes the material loop, lowering environmental impact and conserving resources.

  • 100% Recyclable Products


    The EPS recycling process is easy, and 100% of what is recycled is turned into more eco-friendly packaging products or used to manufacture other goods and products.

Proven by science

Don’t take our word for it, it’s science! Life cycle assessments are a great tool for determining the whole story about products. When measuring things like climate change, water use, and energy use, compared against other known environmentally friendly packaging options, such as corrugated board and molded pulp, EPS is the clear winner.

  • Water use volume

    Molded pulp 102x
    Honeycomb 364x

    More water to produce than EPS

  • Cumulative energy demand
