Why we exist

We started Forrest Blake because we kept seeing the same problem: companies making claims like "recyclable" or "eco-friendly" that sound great on a label but fall apart under scrutiny. Often these terms are technically accurate in narrow conditions, yet misleading in the real world where the infrastructure to support them is lacking. Consumers are catching on, regulators are closing in, and brands risk losing reputation and market share.

Forrest Blake is a sustainable design partner that helps businesses make better packaging decisions and communicate them clearly. We work closely with teams to design packaging that is better for the planet and holds up to scrutiny.
