Recycled Materials
Renewable materials like Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic and recycled paper are redefining the packaging industry and playing an essential role in advancing sustainability.
PCR plastic is made from discarded consumer products. By reusing plastic that has already served its purpose, we're minimizing the demand for new plastic production, thereby reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, the primary raw material for conventional plastic. PCR plastic offers a similar level of durability and versatility as virgin plastic, making it ideal for various packaging needs. Importantly, the use of PCR plastic helps keep plastic waste out of landfills and oceans, playing a vital part in combating the global plastic pollution problem.

Both PCR plastic and recycled paper contribute to the circular economy model, where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them. This is a shift from the traditional linear economy based on the 'take-make-waste' model to a more sustainable 'reduce-reuse-recycle' model.
Packaging made from renewable materials like PCR plastic and recycled paper is not just about environmental stewardship. It's also a strong business strategy, meeting growing consumer demand for sustainable products. It allows brands to stand out in a competitive marketplace and align with the values of eco-conscious consumers.
In essence, renewable materials are key to the future of sustainable packaging. They embody the principles of resource efficiency, waste reduction, and circularity, taking us one step closer to a sustainable and environmentally conscious world.
