packaging in green materials
Grass paper bubble envelopes
An exciting green new product in 2019 is the bio-based bubble envelopes, which are made from biological grass paper and the inner bubble plastic is made from recycled plastic. This envelope is very environmentally friendly, as the grass paper is made from Quick grass a super fast growing plant that quickly grows back after harvest and is therefore highly renewable. At the same time, Quick grass absorbs a lot of CO2 during growth.
Plastic of sugar cane
Do you distance yourself from standard plastic made of oil? Then you have a green alternative here. Plastic can also be made from plant-based raw materials such as sugar cane. Here you will find carrier bags and sugar cane plastic bags, which are an environmentally friendly alternative to ordinary plastics.
The sugar cane bags have the “green” label, as well as a text at the bottom of the bags, so you can send your green message to your customers. The sustainability of sugar cane plastic lies in the fact that the plastic is first and foremost a biological product (95%) from a renewable resource. Sugar cane is a fast growing plant that absorbs a lot of CO2 during growth.
The advantage is that the plastic can be remelted to new plastic with other LDPE plastic [Plastic used for plastic bags], and thus can be included in the return system in an environmentally friendly way.
Stretch paper, a plastic-free alternative
Do you need to pack fragile items and do you want to deviate from bubble wrap? Then Stretch paper is the plastic-free alternative for protecting goods. Stretch paper is a new packaging material which is FSC labeled, natural colored and so it gives a unique expression with structure similar to honey comb paper.
The Stretch paper sits on a roll in a dispenser box with a layer of white paper and a layer of Stretch paper. You can initially wrap your items in the wrapping paper to avoid scratching the items.
Plastic ribbon gift ribbon
An exciting new item for the gift wrapping is the gift ribbon made of plastic bottles.
This gift ribbon is environmentally friendly because it is made from a polluting waste product in the form of plastic bottles collected from Taiwan's nature, which is badly contaminated. This makes the plastic bottles upcycled into a new product and gives a life as a gift ribbon. In the process, the plastic is transformed into fine threads which are spun and transformed into exclusive silk ribbon with printed text "made of recycled plastic bottles". This ribbon of plastic bottles is perfect to send a green signal to your customers.
