Can you offer an alternative?
Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the packaging and containers used for their products. Take a stroll down the crisp aisle in any supermarket and witness how Walkers, a leading crisp company, is embracing the growing demand for more sustainable choices. At one end of the aisle, you'll spot a multi-pack of crisps in a plastic bag, while at the other end, you'll find a multi-pack enclosed in a corrugated box. Have you considered experimenting with paper packaging for your products instead of plastic?
Have you considered every element of your packaging?
Are you considering every aspect of your packaging when it comes to reducing plastic waste? Labels are a crucial part of packaging and are taken into account in the overall weight when considering the plastic packaging tax. When one of our valued customers approached us with the goal of minimising the use of virgin plastic in their labels, we went above and beyond to assist them. We successfully found a new label material that reduces the amount of virgin plastic utilised and serves as an exceptional alternative to traditional white PP/PE labels. This innovative material is composed of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
83% of paper & card packaging is recycled in the EU*
Paper and cardboard are the most recycled packaging materials in Europe. In 2018, 82.9% of all paper and cardboard was recycled, outperforming metallic packaging (80.1%), glass packaging (74.7%) and far exceeding that of plastic packaging (41.8%). Read more on the Two Sides website.
