Our Commitment To A
Better World
At QPSI, sustainability is at the core of our culture, and we pride ourselves on being a valued partner to our customers’ sustainability initiatives. Accountability to Ourselves and Each Other is one of our “One Q Guiding Principles;” and that means understanding and owning the consequences of our actions, not only in the quality of our products and the service we provide, but also in leaving the world a better place than we found it. Our team is delivering today’s most innovative green packaging solutions, so we can all build a brighter tomorrow.
Connecting Our People To Our Planet
In 2022, QPSI developed a formal sustainability program that brought together a team of functional senior leaders to establish an impactful approach to all environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. This Sustainability Steering Committee works closely with our President and CFO to strategically and collaboratively support our efforts in the most meaningful way. Together, they’ve accomplished the following:
Assessed current sustainability practices against peer benchmarks to identify current ESG strengths and weaknesses and prioritize future initiatives.
Completed a materiality assessment to determine QPSI’s most salient ESG issues and develop a sustainability roadmap.
Created a sustainability action plan with tasks, timelines, and goals for our sustainability focus areas.
Fewer Materials for Greater Change
By reducing fillers and using innovative structural engineering, we can display more products with less packaging — saving money and materials.
Sustainably Sourced & Cycled
We choose only recycled and renewable materials from sustainable forests, while prioritizing options that can easily be reused or recycled.
A Green Mindset
Lightening the Load
Choosing lighter materials means reducing the overall use of packaging materials and the energy required in transportation and logistics.
High-Quality Products With Low-Impact Designs
Our packaging designers and engineers listen to our customers’ needs and put their sustainability initiatives at the forefront of their product designs. By blending our unique expertise and our shared values, we strive to achieve the greatest value and the smallest environmental impact.
Creating An Eco-Conscious Culture
Eliminating waste from our production processes and keeping it out of our landfills is a top priority at QPSI. When we can recycle or refurbish a resource, we will; and if our waste is valuable enough to sell it off for a secondary purpose, even better. And while we don’t use water in any production processes, all of our facilities use a “point of use” filtration system to remove all organic compounds from any water flowing into municipal wastewater systems.

Partnering For A Better Tomorrow
Our core values lay the foundation for how we select, develop, and build our partnerships — now and in the future. And sustainability is no exception. So when it comes to ensuring every step of our processes meet our standards, we have to make sure everyone involved is on the same page.
