A Smarter End-of-Life for Excess Packaging

Instead of recycling or landfill disposal, surplus packaging can be resold into circulation—delivering stronger returns, reduced waste, and a cleaner operational footprint.

Purchasing and production cycles can be hard to anticipate. Design changes, packaging changes, a decline in product demand or the packaging has simply become unneeded. Holding on to surplus packaging can complicate your supply chain and create unnecessary financial strain on your business.

How Overstock Packaging Builds:

  • Packaging Redesigns: A shift in design or branding that renders old packaging obsolete.
  • Changes in Market Demand: A product’s popularity can decline, leaving you with a surplus of packaging.
  • Product Discontinuation: Packaging that was purchased for a product that is no longer in production.
  • Over-Ordering: Sometimes purchasing decisions don’t align with actual sales, leading to excess inventory.

No matter the cause, the reality is the same: you’re left with excess or surplus packaging that isn’t producing revenue. With the added storage and upkeep costs, that overstock could be costing you sales and taking space away from profitable inventory.

What Can Be Done With Your Surplus Packaging:

For over 67 years, McKernan Packaging Clearing House has helped businesses recover value from surplus inventory with our We Buy Packaging program. We buy unused, unbranded packaging components, offering an easy and secure solution that frees up warehouse space while putting money back in your pocket. For added peace of mind, we coordinate and cover all shipping costs.

The Environmental and Financial Impact of Surplus Packaging

Throwing away excess packaging or dumping it in a landfill can be expensive and negatively impact the environment. Deciding to dump inventory without regaining any of your initial investment is a tough decision to make. Meanwhile, the longer that extra packaging sits on your shelves, the more it cuts into profit margins and slows operational efficiency.

Recycling can consume energy and takes time to create new materials, while precycling® is a cost-effective and environmentally smart way to keep packaging out of landfills and making it available for immediate use. McKernan also typically offers more than recycle value and will pay shipping and freight costs.
