There is a significant shift from plastic to paper packaging which is gaining momentum driven by environmental concerns, consumer demand and regulatory pressures. Paper packaging has notable environmental advantages over plastic, making it a preferred choice for many businesses and consumers. In a nutshell, eco-friendly paper packaging offers numerous benefits for both businesses and the environment. Here are some key advantages:
Eco foil, also known as eco-friendly foil or sustainable foil, refers to a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional foil used in various applications, including greeting cards.
Traditional foil is typically made from metallic materials, such as aluminium, and often involves resource-intensive and environmentally harmful processes.
Eco foil, on the other hand, is produced using sustainable materials or methods that have a reduced impact on the environment.
However, there remains a misconception that items that have had foil applied cannot enter the recycling stream. However, paper or board with foil applied to it can be re-pulped and therefore recycled. Similarly, paper or board with foil applied can be composted under commercial conditions.
Earth Day is a time to focus on our planet's health and celebrate the steps we can all take towards a more sustainable future.
We’ve been championing Eco print for a long time!
When we launched our online eco-print platform in 2006 we were the only UK printer offing a 100% eco-printing option. As such we were called upon by the paper merchants and ink manufacturers to trial and test their products and consequently we were the first print company in the UK to switch to vegetable-oil based inks and to run all of our products on 100% recycled paper.
