How Stateside Distribution Leads Eco-Friendly Innovation

As the demand for American food and drinks continues to grow worldwide, so does the need for sustainable FMCG packaging and responsible distribution. Consumers today care deeply about the environmental impact of the products they purchase — including iconic American snacks, beverages, and food brands. At Stateside Distribution, we’re proud to champion eco-friendly packaging and sustainable supply chain solutions tailored specifically for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector specialising in American products.

The Importance of Sustainable Packaging in American FMCG Distribution

The FMCG industry generates vast amounts of packaging waste every year, much of it from cardboard boxes and plastic fillers used to protect food and drinks during shipping. As American food and beverage brands innovate with biodegradable packaging and recyclable materials, distributors must also step up to reduce waste and support sustainability goals throughout the supply chain.

Stateside Distribution’s Green Packaging Innovation: Cardboard Shredding for Eco-Friendly Parcel Protection

To reduce our environmental footprint, Stateside Distribution uses an in-house cardboard shredding machine to recycle used cardboard boxes. Instead of sending packaging waste to landfill, we transform it into shredded cardboard padding used to protect parcels carrying American food and drinks.

This shredded cardboard packaging serves as a sustainable alternative to plastic fillers like bubble wrap or foam peanuts. We’re especially proud to use this eco-friendly filler in our TikTok parcels, demonstrating how sustainable packaging can be practical and stylish for high-profile shipments.

Using shredded cardboard packaging provides several benefits:

• 100% recyclable and biodegradable

• Helps reduce plastic waste in FMCG distribution

• Safely cushions products like snacks, drinks, and groceries

• Supports brands’ commitment to greener packaging

Our cardboard shredding initiative is a practical example of how distribution companies can help American FMCG brands meet their sustainability targets while ensuring efficient delivery.

Supporting Sustainable American Food and Beverage Brands

We work closely with American food and drink brands that prioritise sustainable packaging solutions, including compostable wrappers, recyclable bottles, and reduced plastic use. Stateside’s warehousing and logistics infrastructure is designed to handle these environmentally conscious products, helping brands reach eco-aware customers faster and with minimal environmental impact.

Stateside Distribution: Leading Sustainability with Innovative Packaging Solutions

At Stateside Distribution, sustainability is more than just a goal — it’s part of how we operate every day. Our cardboard shredding system is a prime example of how we embed eco-friendly practices in our workflows. By using shredded cardboard inside our own TikTok parcels and across all shipments, we significantly reduce plastic filler waste and demonstrate that greener packaging can be both effective and eye-catching.

We’re committed to building a greener supply chain for American snacks, beverages, and grocery products — one parcel at a time.
