Smart packaging cuts jobsite waste by addressing the problem at its source: materials that arrive on the jobsite before construction even begins. When packaging is designed to be minimal, recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable, the downstream waste footprint shrinks dramatically.
Less Material to Throw Away
Packaging waste is a surprisingly large contributor to dumpster loads, increasing costs, disrupting jobsite efficiency, and creating compliance risks. Smart construction waste management principles emphasize reducing, reusing, and recycling materials.
Streamlined Jobsite Operations
With so much packaging on the jobsite, generating less waste translates into real cost savings and smoother project flow through fewer dumpster hauls, less time spent cleaning up, lower disposal fees, and a safer, less cluttered jobsite.
Biodegradable & Compostable Options
Non-plastic and paper product options break down naturally, reducing soil and groundwater contamination and cutting landfill contributions by up to 60%.
Partnering for Better Options
Manufacturers with smart upstream planning can eliminate single-use plastics, take advantage of bulk packaging, and use recyclable content to reduce waste long before the materials reach the jobsite.
Less Mess and Less Stress for Contractors and Network Installers
Our Sustainably Smart Packaging (SSP) program focuses on bulk packaging, recyclable packaging, and eliminating single-use plastics.
The GREENPACK™ Difference
Large network installations can be cumbersome and time consuming for IT network managers, with workers needing to open hundreds or even thousands of individually packaged jacks and patch cords. Leviton GREENPACK bulk packs effectively streamline installation and reduce material waste from entering the landfill.
Frequently Asked Questions
Leviton’s Sustainably Smart Packaging is a program focused on recyclable materials, recycled content, bulk formats, and smarter packaging designs that help reduce or eliminate single-use plastics. The packaging program helps reduce jobsite waste before products arrive on site by prioritizing efficient formats that use minimal, recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable materials.
Sustainable packaging reduces jobsite waste by decreasing the amount of material contractors and network installers need to unpack, sort, clean up, and dispose. By cutting excess material at the source, installation teams can lower dumpster volumes, spend less time on cleanup, reduce disposal costs, and maintain a safer, less cluttered jobsite.
Yes. Leviton uses recyclable packaging through Sustainably Smart Packaging, which features 100% recyclable materials. Leviton also uses corrugated cartons containing at least 50% recycled content, along with sustainable inks and coatings.
Leviton has significantly reduced single-use plastics by replacing plastic clamshells, blister packs, and polybags with recyclable paper and paperboard alternatives across select product lines. In 2025 alone, these improvements eliminated 42,591 pounds of plastic and removed more than 1.24 million clamshell packages.
Sustainable packaging supports Leviton’s broader sustainability commitment by reducing waste, improving recyclability, and helping customers achieve their own sustainability goals. Sustainably Smart Packaging extends Leviton’s sustainability practices to the jobsite by supporting more responsible material choices and product lifecycles.
