Special Sustainability Fiber-based packaging as plastic alternative For decades, we have been living with plastic packaging, which has spread to all our product areas. They can be used flexibly, offer good barriers, are light and durable as well as easy to combine. However, triggered by a new focus through legislation and also attention from consumers, plastic is now being strongly scrutinized.Aspects such as fossil raw material sources and the associated environmental pollution, microplastics in rivers and oceans, and even the major problem of plastic waste in the world's oceans have awaken consumers and governments worldwide. Not yet in the same focus, but also relevant, are the suspected health risks from plastics to the human body. As a result, two main demands on packaging from retailers and consumers are currently becoming even louder: recyclability as well as the demand for plastic-free packaging. Sina Leswal 20.

Nachhaltigkeit Faserbasierte Verpackungen als Kunststoff-Alternative Seit Jahrzehnten leben wir mit Kunststoffverpackungen, die sich in all unsere Produktbereiche ausgebreitet haben. Sie sind flexibel einsetzbar, bieten gute Barrieren, sind leicht und strapazierfähig sowie gut zu kombinieren. Ausgelöst durch die neue Fokussierung durch Gesetze und auch die Aufmerksamkeit durch den Verbraucher wird Kunststoff seit Kurzem aber nun stark hinterfragt. Simone Podieh 1. December 2020
