Top 10 facts about packaging pollution

1. Packaging waste accounts for around one-third of all municipal waste globally, with an estimated 141 million tons of packaging waste generated each year.

2. Single-use plastics, such as plastic bags and packaging, are a significant contributor to packaging pollution. In 2019, it was estimated that there were over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in the world’s oceans.

3. The production of packaging materials requires significant amounts of energy, water, and natural resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of natural resources.

4. Plastic packaging can take hundreds of years to decompose, contributing to the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.

5. Improperly disposed of packaging waste can harm wildlife and ecosystems, as well as pose a risk to human health.

6. The majority of packaging waste is incinerated, contributing to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

7. Food waste, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, is often linked to over-packaging and the use of non-recyclable materials.

8. Recycling rates for packaging waste are often low due to a lack of infrastructure and public awareness.

9. The production and disposal of packaging waste is a global issue, with many countries exporting their waste to developing countries with inadequate waste management systems.

10. The packaging industry is under pressure to adopt more sustainable practices and materials, such as biodegradable and compostable packaging, to address the issue of packaging pollution.

The packaging industry plays a significant role in the environmental impact of our planet. The production of packaging materials requires significant amounts of energy, water, and natural resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of natural resources.

The increasing demand for packaging materials has led to a rise in packaging waste, with an estimated 141 million tons of packaging waste generated each year. Single-use plastics, a major contributor to packaging pollution, can take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, posing a significant threat to wildlife and ecosystems.

The packaging industry has a responsibility to address these issues by adopting more sustainable practices and materials, reducing waste, and promoting recycling and composting.

We pride ourselves on our passion for the environment and how we are caring for our own impact and innovating to bring less impactful packaging solutions to our customers. We have a track record for helping businesses switch from plastic packaging to paper and significantly reducing the amount of packaging required.
