The Growing Demand for Sustainable Packaging in Cannabis
Cannabis brands are under increasing pressure—from both regulators and consumers—to reduce their environmental footprint. Packaging plays a major role in a product’s lifecycle, and for many cannabis companies, it’s also the largest contributor to waste. Operations managers are facing rising scrutiny from compliance officers, while also responding to eco-conscious buyers demanding sustainable solutions.
Unfortunately, many standard suppliers still rely on non-recyclable plastics, excessive shrink-wrap, and generic designs. These issues not only increase environmental impact but also hurt brand differentiation in a competitive market.

Case Study Snippet: A Colorado Brand Goes Green
A mid-sized cannabis brand in Colorado approached Atom Enterprises in 2024 with the goal of switching to fully recyclable concentrate jars and cartons. By working with our team, they transitioned to FSC-certified paper boxes and glass jars, maintaining child-resistance compliance. The move helped them reduce landfill waste by over 40%, which they leveraged in marketing—and it drove a 22% increase in wholesale orders over the next 6 months.
