The trend for paper packaging
A normal trundle through the supermarket is enough to see that more and more packaging is made from paper, card and cardboard, either (ostensibly) wholly or in part. Where has this trend come from? How sustainable is paper packaging really?
Amazon, the shipping giant, just stated that it would now be using paper-based insulated bags for its food delivery service, Fresh, in the USA in November last year, for example. Plastic liners and bubble wrap will no longer make their way into customers’ houses. The company is planning to switch to flexible paper shipping bags for smaller shipments in Germany too.
