ECO-FRIENDLY SELF-ADHESIVE TAPES FOR YOUR BUSINESS
A global threat
One of the major problems of the world today is waste management.
And so, brands and businesses across the globe are suffering backlash from their customers, stakeholders, social organizations, and even governments & regimes. This backlash is now manifesting itself in global & domestic laws and trade sanctions.
The packaging menace
To say, nearly 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced every year. The packaging industry alone produces 141 million tons of plastic waste which accounts for 47% of the total plastic waste, also out of the 380 million tons of plastic produced per year, 146 million tons are produced by the packaging industry, which again is roughly 38% of the total production. And too much dependency on plastic for secondary packaging is the key to these rising numbers. Hence transformation here becomes more essential than anywhere else.
Essentially, by transforming the packaging industry, 40-50% of plastic waste can be reduced before it begins.
Exploring options
Since all the industry infrastructure & systems are built around these practices, it becomes almost impossible for us to just go ahead and revolutionize them.
This leaves us with one viable option. To make the industry switch to a material compatible with existing systems that have similar form, function, and benefits & are sustainable, bio-compostable, or in the least recyclable.
