Environmental issues are the elements of sustainability that are most commonly confronted by businesses and their customers today. The demand for sustainable protective packaging is driven by environmentally conscious consumers and is part of a growing trend to move away from oil-based plastic materials towards materials that are renewable, recyclable and compostable.
What you should know about plastic and packaging:
- Plastic is made from oil, a non-renewable resource.
- 8% of oil is converted into plastic.
- Over 50% of all packaging is made of plastic.
- In 2005, of the 13.7 tons of plastic packaging disposed of in municpal solid waste sites, only 9.4% was actually recovered.
- Oil-based plastic packaging is not compostable.
