Waste prevention through sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging
Paper packaging is on the rise
Why the move to more paper packaging is globally important
- Globally, 32% of plastic packaging is released into the environment and has no other utilization(*). This steadily growing pile of rubbish becomes more and more of a global problem.
- Therefore, sustainability and environmentally friendly packaging solutions become more important and have an increasing influence on our everyday lives.
- Proprietors, consumers, laws and even the end consumer now demand a significant reduction in the volumes of single-use plastic.
(*) Neither via landfill, combustion nor recycling
Paper producers face up to their responsibilities
In the last few years, there are some paper producers,
who accept the challenge of developing sustainable
and environmentally friendly papers to replace plastic
products – wherever it is useful and possible.
Packaging papers form an essential range here. There
are a lot of products on the market that can be
wrapped in paper instead of plastic. Paper as
packaging not only has the advantage of being made
out of renewable raw materials, but the existing
recycling figures are an obvious reason for paper to
replace plastic.
