Celebrating our Next Generation this Holiday Season

This year we’re celebrating the Next Generation of Knoll Packaging as we continue to reshape the definition of sustainability in luxury packaging by eliminating plastics, committing to recyclability and new global production capabilities in Europe and Asia. As we head into our 40th anniversary, we look back at a wonderful year of incredible and technically complex projects, groundbreaking innovations and expanded global manufacturing. There is a lot to celebrate, and we appreciate our customers partnership in continuing to bring the Knoll-Standard to our industry.

Celebrating our Next Generation this Holiday Season

As an expansion of our business model, and to provide greater reliability and services, we developed proprietary equipment that provides Seamless Knoll-Quality Automation. The quality is perfection, and our proprietary automation is mirrored in Europe and in our fully owned factory in the Philippines.

Knoll Packaging wins for Knoll Ecoform Molded Pulp Compacts

Celebrating our Next Generation this Holiday Season

We could not be more thrilled that our Knoll Ecoform molded pulp compacts won Gold at the Pentawards and Shortlisted at the UK Packaging Awards! This design started as a chance to continue our mission to use design innovation to remove plastics and create a better world and took many years to become a reality. The engineering of this concept required our entire global team to problem solve all aspects, including creating a luxury appearance, closure, removable mirror, and ability to be adapted to any configuration. We’re tremendously proud of the results and delighted to see this concept come onto the market next year.

100% Knoll Ecoform Molded Pulp

Skin Office partnered with Knoll to introduce their innovative 100% Knoll Ecoform molded pulp secondary packaging. This sustainable clamshell features a multi-cavity molded shape with dedicated sections for the serum, tool and brochure. They used Knoll’s recyclable pulp made from bamboo and bagasse fibers. The pulp structure of Knoll Ecoform was carefully color-matched to achieve the desired hue, echoing the color of the algae complex in the product formula. This groundbreaking use sets a new standard for sustainable packaging in the skincare industry.

A neck ribbon and facing label are used to accessorize the pack. This is the industry-first fragrance discovery set that combines a bottle-shaped molded pulp and an FSC Paper and Board interior. All materials are color-matched to the House of Penhaligon’s green color.

Leadership in Sustainability
Knoll Published our 2022 Sustainability Report

Celebrating our Next Generation this Holiday Season

This report is our first ever standalone sustainability report. It has been a great challenge, but we are satisfied with the progress we have made. The process was made relatively easy by reporting in accordance with the GRI standards where the standards made it clear what needs to be reported to keep our report clear and concise. Knoll Packaging will continue to report our sustainability achievements through our annual report. With the experience, we believe we will be able to issue to report earlier in the year.

The 2022 Knoll Sustainability Report is available here.

Lord’s Taverners Knoll Receives 2023 Gold EcoVadis Medal which is the top 6% for sustainability. Ecovadis provides companies like Knoll a benchmark to guide us on our sustainability journey. As more companies join the platform, the assessment standard will become stricter, and it will be a challenge for companies to be recognized with a medal. This reinforces our motivation to continually improve our sustainability performance as we strive to be the leader and set the standard for the luxury packaging industry.

Celebrating our Next Generation this Holiday Season

At Knoll, we always believe that changes start with awareness. Knoll Gives Back Day is a great opportunity for our team globally to understand what is happening in their local community. We are so honored to be the recipient of the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year. Not only that the award assured us of our effort, but it also helps us to spread the word and potentially motivate other individuals and companies to join us in giving back to the community.
