It’s Monday! It’s a new week and finally we can see a bit of sunshine and the cold and icy weather will eventually be a thing of the past. I am interested in writing about statistics in the sustainable packaging world and I found (using google AI) one that I found to be enlightening:
“According to recent data, a significant majority of consumers prioritise sustainable packaging, with around 76% preferring paper-based packaging over plastic due to environmental concerns; the global sustainable packaging market is valued at approximately £214.77 billion in 2023, projected to exceed £310.47 billion by 2028, with over 50% of plastic waste stemming from short-use packaging like single-use plastics used in packaging alone”

The sustainable packaging market valuation from 2023 to 2028 is illustrating that this is the place to invest, not only money, but also time, effort and energy to providing alternative methods of disposing our waste. If you haven’t already, there is a news story on our website which evidences the statistic above regarding that around d 76% of consumers prioritise sustainable packaging, like paper, over plastic due to environmental concerns.
The first of its kind (and not the last I’m sure), Storopack now offer an innovative solution to the conventional plastic air pillows we see in our packaging for fragile goods. SPN has been made aware that Storopack is the only protective packaging specialist on the market that offer the paper air pillow, which is combined with a water-soluble inner coating. It is widely known that a combination of materials can be difficult to recycle, however, this air pillow by Storopack has been designed in a way which makes 100% of the product recyclable, showcasing how innovative designs and ideas can be made greener for our planet.
