Why Third-Party Certifications Matter
As more companies embrace environmental responsibility, third-party certifications have become the trusted benchmark for credibility and transparency. That’s why Morris Packaging’s recent certifications from GreenCircle Certified and ISCC+ represent more than just a milestone—they embody Morris’ commitment to sustainable packaging. Businesses that are looking for a sustainable packaging partner use these certifications as tangible proof that Morris delivers certified packaging solutions rooted in transparency, traceability, and measurable impact.
Morris Packaging’s Director of Sustainability, Penny Steinwagner, shared, “Achieving GreenCircle and ISCC+ certification is a testament to Morris Packaging's commitment to sustainability. These certifications validate our efforts to provide sustainable packaging solutions that meet the highest standards of environmental responsibility.”
She continued, “As the Director of Sustainability, it's exciting to see Morris recognized for various certifications. This enhances our credibility and trust with our customers, and also motivates us to continue innovating and improving.”
Supporting Sustainability Goals & Strengthening Market Positioning
For many businesses, a key goal is to deliver on environmental objectives while maintaining product performance and regulatory compliance. This means integrating packaging that meets verified environmental criteria into their sustainability frameworks.
Morris Packaging’s GreenCircle and ISCC+ certifications directly support this effort by allowing our partners to:
● Report accurately on recycled content, responsible sourcing, and traceability within their supply chains.
● Provide verifiable documentation during audits and investor reviews.
● Demonstrate progress toward material use reduction, emissions benchmarking, and circularity goals.
Our certified packaging gives businesses a concrete way to translate ESG strategy into action, with the backing of globally recognized third-party validation.
Stronger Market Positioning
Consumers, retailers, and regulators are skeptical of greenwashing and vague environmental claims. That’s why brands that use certified packaging solutions from Morris Packaging are better positioned to compete and earn the trust of consumers.
By leveraging certifications like ISCC+ and GreenCircle, our partners can:
● Communicate verified sustainability attributes confidently in their marketing and packaging copy.
● Differentiate their products on shelves and in digital listings where sustainability filters and third-party validation are increasingly influencing purchase decisions.
● Enter or maintain access to retailers and procurement networks that now require or heavily favor certified packaging suppliers.
Having the right documentation will help prove claims and win customers in an environment where proof is becoming a prerequisite.
GreenCircle Certification: Verified Practices and Materials
GreenCircle Certified requires companies to undergo an evaluation process that verifies specific environmental claims ranging from recycled content to manufacturing processes. Morris Packaging underwent this third party certification to ensure the accuracy of claims associated with several of our packaging formats. For our partners, this means they’re working with a verified sustainable packaging provider whose claims are backed by data.
ISCC+ Certification: Traceability From Source to Shelf
The ISCC+, or International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus, standard is recognized globally for validating responsible sourcing and supply chain traceability. Morris Packaging's ISCC+ certified packaging confirms that select materials used in production originate from qualified, responsibly managed sources, whether bio-based, circular, or advanced recycled inputs.
This certification adds an additional layer of trust, especially for brands seeking eco-friendly packaging suppliers who meet strict international sustainability standards. ISCC+ tracks the process from raw material through production and distribution, which ensures visibility across the full lifecycle.
