Positive packaging
Sometimes it’s the ‘simple’ things that make all the difference. Here’s one example – we have recently changed the edge protectors used with our cartons from a plastic solution to a 100% recycled paper solution. Not only are paper edge protectors more environmentally friendly, by using recycled paper as opposed to virgin paper, but we’re also making additional carbon (CO₂e) savings. Take a look at the stats below!
Virgin Fibre vs. Recycled | |||
---|---|---|---|
1 ton virgin fibre paper | 1 ton 100% recycled paper | Environmental Savings from Recycled Content | |
Trees | 24 trees | 0 trees | 100% |
Energy | 33m BTUs | 22m BTUs | 33% |
Greenhouse gases released – CO₂e equivalent | 2540 kg | 1602 kg | 37% |
Wastewater | 22,853 gallons | 11,635 | 49% |
Solid waste | 871 kg | 531 kg | 39% |
