How is Supr Pack Improving Planetary Health.

Although consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainability in their purchasing decisions, and packaging is often central to a product's visual appeal for buyers, many businesses have yet to sufficiently prioritise sustainability and circularity when considering packaging design, use, and disposal, with the majority of eco-friendly packaging mailers still being single-use and non-recyclable.

  1. How is Supr Pack Improving Planetary Health? Although consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainability in their purchasing decisions, and packaging is often central to a product's visual appeal for buyers, many businesses have yet to sufficiently prioritise sustainability and circularity when considering packaging design, use, and disposal, with the majority of eco-friendly packaging mailers still being single-use and non- recyclable. This economic model of "take, make and dispose of" still dominates capital production. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, only 14% of plastic packaging is recycled globally. A worrying 40% of it ends up in landfills, with another third in fragile ecosystems like the ocean. According to one estimate, our oceans may contain more plastic than fish by 2050. Fortunately, several forward-thinking organisations are attempting to change this dismal trend by devoting time and resources to developing more circular packaging solutions. These innovators are developing solutions that allow mailers packaging waste to be reprocessed indefinitely or reintroduced into the system as raw materials for other products. Accenture Strategy identified the Circular Supply Chain business model as an example. This model is beneficial not only to the environment but also contributes to the creation of business value. Supr Pack follows the circular supply chain business model, which ensures that packaging protects the environment and improves the bottom line. ●Organic garbage is diverted from landfills Due to food contamination, traditional single-use foodservice items are frequently unable to be recovered or recycled. As a result, both the packaging and organic food waste end up in our garbage cans. Compostable packaging enables a single waste collection, which has the added benefit of lowering the environmental effect of organic waste in landfills. The food industry creates 1,000,000 tonnes of organic waste in Australia alone, with most of it ending up in landfills. ●Organic emissions are reduced, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions Organic garbage in landfills is oxygen-depleted, and when it decomposes, it releases the greenhouse gas methane. Methane is 28 times more detrimental to our environment than carbon, and if landfill gases were considered a country, it would rank third in the world behind China and the United States. Composting our food waste and compostable packaging has a significant beneficial impact and is essential for combating climate change. Composting is also a process that removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil. ●Plant-based materials are the way of the future, moving away from plastic

  2. Not only are plant-based products compostable, but they are also renewable. Bagasse, for example, is a byproduct of the sugarcane industry created from sugarcane pulp. Instead of being burned, this material can be salvaged, composted, and returned to the soil to give nutrients for – wait for it – more plants. ●Dependence on fossil fuels is reduced Fossil-fuel-based plastics have been around for a long time compared to plant-based polymers. These dangerous materials do not simply degrade, whether they end up in landfills or our oceans, and mounting proof of their presence throughout our ecosystems – including inside our bodies – is reason enough to avoid them. ●Composting is good for the environment Globally, ecosystems are under severe stress, with overcrowding and pollution being the primary causes. Biodiversity surveys depict a pretty bleak picture, but composting is one method we may help restore the balance. Compost benefits soils, plants, and animals in a variety of ways: • It improves soil structure and quality, allowing plants to develop and retain water. • Composting traps carbon and encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms, making our soil more fertile and productive. • It eliminates the need for chemical fertilisers, lowering the risk of contaminated water run-off into our rivers and oceans. Why not invest in some green packaging for your company now that you realise how important it is? Supr Pack is delighted to be a part of the march towards more environmentally friendly packaging. Our biodegradable mailers is of high quality and comes in several sizes and configurations, ensuring a perfect fit for any application. Because of their long-lasting construction, our customers may expect them to last for years. They also assist in keeping the environment clean by avoiding landfills.
