How we collaborate
Cosmopak is a global cosmetic packaging supplier focused on creating beautiful primary, secondary and promotional packaging. Cosmopak purchases offsets from Plastic Bank to cover its operational, as well as their staff’s, total plastic footprint. Cosmopak offers brands two options as it relates to plastic usage for their orders: post-consumer recycled plastic materials (PCR) or plastic offsets.
Why Cosmopak chose to lead with purpose
Disrupting the industry through broader sustainability options
Cosmopak creates partnerships with brands looking to disrupt their industry with sustainable sourcing and packaging. Offering not just recyclable materials, Cosmopak offers alternative options that are outside the wheelhouse of typical packaging suppliers, such as plastic offsets through Plastic Bank.
Establishing trust through verification
Through Plastic Bank’s certificates and Silver Ecovadis rating, Cosmopak can readily provide documented proof of sustainability claims upon request by a partner. This 3rd-party documentation creates a greenwashing-proof solution for companies trying to be a part of the solution against plastic pollution.

What purpose means to Cosmopak
Cosmopak is a forward thinking company operated by individuals who are deeply conscious of the environment. It recognizes its role in preserving the planet for future generations. When the opportunity to support sustainable efforts with Plastic Bank arose, there was no hesitation. Working with Plastic Bank to support plastic collection was seen as more than just a marketable asset; it was a moral imperative for the company.
Cosmopak identified significant value in its partnership with Plastic Bank through industry differentiation and alignment with emerging trends. As the packaging industry increasingly moves towards sustainable material options, Cosmopak has embraced this shift by offering post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic as an available option. This decision supports environmental sustainability and also positions Cosmopak as a leader in the movement toward a more sustainable future.
Cosmopak’s formula for success
Success through offsets
Cosmopak supports their customers’ commitment to sustainability by encouraging incremental changes to packaging. Cosmopak provides customers with the ability to maintain the look and feel of their brand while disrupting the industry with a sustainable approach to packaging. In addition to offering PCR materials for packaging, Cosmopak also provides plastic offsets through its partnership with Plastic Bank. By leveraging sales order data, Cosmopak can determine the plastic footprint of a customers’ product and fully offset the plastic usage of that product. Customers can think of Cosmopak as their sustainability manager allowing them to focus on brand success.
Success through authentication
When companies request verification for sustainability claims, Cosmopak provides thorough documentation through Plastic Bank’s certificates and an EcoVadis Silver rating, ensuring authenticated standards and practices of Plastic Bank’s operations. Not only does this supportive documentation protect customers from greenwashing claims, but also enhances the credibility of Cosmopak through its broader dedication to authenticity.
“Plastic Bank provides Cosmopak the opportunity to further promote recycling and the ability to actively prevent plastic from entering the ocean.”
