GenScript Biotech Corporation has introduced an innovative shipping packaging solution, advancing the company’s ambitious sustainability objectives. This new packaging replaces plastic with 100% recyclable paper materials, which reduces waste by 82% and decreases annual carbon emissions by 5.14 tons—equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by approximately 250 trees.

The redesigned packaging eliminates foam, leveraging the structural strength of paper, which is recyclable, thus diminishing the carbon footprint and waste associated with foam. Additionally, the ink used for printing is water-based, biodegradable, and non-toxic, further minimizing waste and ecological impact.

The new packaging has successfully passed a variety of tests, including low-temperature shipping evaluations across multiple continents, ensuring that shipping quality and outcomes remain high. Preliminary testing has garnered positive feedback from customers. GenScript has upgraded 80% of its shipping boxes and plans to enhance all types in the future.

GenScript is committed to corporate social responsibility. Our sustainable packaging program is a testament to our proactive approach in managing our environmental impact and empowering our customers to meet their environmental goals. We will continue to collaborate with all our partners to improve our supply chain and create a sustainable future for all.

In 2023, GenScript became a participant in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and incorporated UNGC principles into its strategic planning. In 2024, the company received a bronze rating from EcoVadis for its environmental, social, and governance practices. Furthermore, GenScript joined the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and submitted its emissions reduction targets, anticipating validation from SBTi this year. This packaging initiative is part of GenScript's broader efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
