Hikvision is constantly striving to increase the sustainability of our operations, aligning with the global movement towards sustainable business practices. One key way we are doing this is by using biodegradable and recyclable materials for our packaging, ensuring that we can minimize waste and protect the environment for future generations, a testament to our commitment to ESG practices.

At Hikvision, we strive to reduce our own carbon footprint as an organization at every stage with green product development and manufacturing processes, careful waste management and recycling, and energy efficient office park operations. This reflects our dedication to building an eco-friendly brand.

One of the ways that Hikvision is increasing the sustainability of our operations is by ensuring that all packaging for our products is as eco-friendly as possible. In practice, this means continually refining packaging to maximize the use of green, biodegradable materials, and to eliminate polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other non-biodegradable materials that have a negative environmental impact.

What does Hikvision’s eco-friendly packaging look like?

When it comes to really understanding what is sustainable in terms of packaging, we need to make meaningful comparisons between traditional packaging materials and approaches, and our new, eco-friendly packaging. Here are 3 key examples of how we are making packaging greener:

1) Implementing plastic reduction in product boxes

With conventional packaging, cardboard boxes are covered with ink-printed, non-biodegradable plastic film. With Hikvision’s new eco-friendly packaging – which is already being used for our Ultra Series and Pro Series cameras – we eliminate the plastic film altogether and use less ink on the outside of all boxes. This results in packaging that is biodegradable, and recyclable.

2) Eliminating EPE foam inside product boxes

Packaging for multiple Hikvision product lines now use folded cardboard to cushion products inside boxes, instead of non-biodegradable EPE foam. This provides the same high level of protection for products during transportation, while also removing the negative environmental impacts of waste EPE foam.

3) Using biodegradable materials for protecting products inside boxes

Hikvision is replacing plastic and other conventional packaging materials inside product boxes with biodegradable, recyclable polylactic acid polyester material, which is made from refined glucose or sucrose from plant sources. Hikvision is using polylactic acid to make ‘dust bags’ and other protective packaging that is needed for products inside cardboard boxes. Paper is also increasingly taking the place of plastic for small cable envelopes and other packaging elements inside boxes.
