Plastic Free Packaging

Traditional plastic is everywhere. Usually, it is made of petroleum or bioplastic, resource-intensive agricultural products, which can have dangerous health consequences. And it typically sticks around forever unless it is burned in a waste-to-energy facility.

Plastic pollution is one of the most concerning environmental issues today. It is indisputable that decades of single-use plastic and poor waste management practices have added up to dreadful consequences for our planet.

Plastic-free is not solely a sustainable packaging strategy. If you are dumping plastic, you need to replace plastic with functional and sustainable alternatives.

Specifically, you’ll want to replace plastic with eco-friendly natural fibers instead. Note that “Bio-plastic”, including compostable plastics, is not “Plastic-free.”

It is significant to choose your natural fiber packaging thoughtfully. Brands can go plastic-free without considering the source of their natural fiber alternatives and then unintentionally create even more environmental damage.

We are actively striving for a reduction of the environmental impact of our products. To help battle the global plastic waste issue, we take the basic steps: we provide plastic-free packaging for consumer-related products.

Our packaging products, on average, contain more than 80% recyclable paper, and virgin materials must be from certified renewable sources. In cases where paper-based materials are not applicable, we look into other non-plastic alternatives.

Impact of plastic  

We are living in an ecosystem; therefore, we all have the responsibility to think about the survival of the environment around us. If we look at environmental pollution and its causes, we will find that a few factors are primarily responsible for the destruction of the environment. A similar example is plastic and products made from it. There is no doubt that the demand for human goods is increasing due to the world’s growing population. New things are being invented to supply goods, but despite being eco-friendly, most of them are extremely expensive. Plastics and their products are generally popular in developing countries due to their low cost and ease of manufacture. But our environment has to pay double the price of this facility.

According to a report, 500 billion plastic bags are manufactured worldwide every year. This plastic packaging has a lifespan of more than a hundred years, which makes the fertile land barren and creates air pollution from the toxic gases emitted by burning them. Millions of tons of plastic are found, and the same plastic packaging materials and bottles spread pollution everywhere.  At the same time, the use of plastic is no longer limited to envelopes and bottles, but spices, salt, tea, biscuits, flour and other items have also been made available in plastic packaging.

The packaging materials are a product of that plastic, and from the whole land to the depths of the ocean, there is rarely a place left today where this plastic bag has not travelled. It would not be wrong to say that ‘plastic’ has become a killer for organisms, from land to sea. Not only that, but we are also bringing plastic into our bodies along with various food items. Would you like to eat plastic made noodles, a burger or a stack? No right. Even so, each of us consumes an average of 20 kilograms of plastic in our lifetime. In the modern lifestyle, we all seem to eat many microplastics even though we don’t seem to eat them because plastics are used indiscriminately everywhere in the preparation, purchase and use of essential commodities and food. Just as a droplet becomes a river, if this microplastic used daily were collected, the average weight of plastic in a person’s life would be about 20 kg per person. When plastic enters our body, it causes many diseases such as Asthma, Pulmonary cancer, liver damage, nerve and brain damage, kidney diseases.

Why should you refrain from using single-use plastic packaging?

The majority of people quickly grasp that plastic is rapidly becoming a major global issue. The fundamental problem with plastics is that they are not biodegradable, in addition to the fact that there are much too many of them. No natural process can degrade it. Plastic disposable packaging is filling our oceans, rivers, waterways and landfills at such a rapid rate that we are now almost submerged in them. In Australia, Parliament used to send our recyclable waste abroad for disposal, but this is no longer the case for many reasons. Most of our recyclable waste now goes to landfills.

So what is the solution? 

We believe that to achieve long-term sustainable change, and we need to reduce the production and use of petroleum-based plastics and put sustainability first. We offer series of packaging derived from alternative sources, such as paper and bioplastics purchased by FSC, such as PLA (polylactic acid), a derivative of cornstarch, instead of traditional oil-based plastics. Our products can be biodegraded, recycled, or composted in industrial composting facilities or using home composting systems. All of our products are listed with a biological classification to inform you of the end-of-life options of the products you purchase.
