Paper Packaging

Bans on EPS packaging have gained tremendous momentum recently, particularly in the European Union and the wider Caribbean region. Legislation banning the use of EPS packaging has also been introduced in Fiji, the Philipines, and regions in the United States, just to name a few.

Boxes are a commonplace and classic representation of celebration and giving. They are a flexible option for gift packing and presentation on various occasions because they are available in various sizes, shapes, and designs.

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has created Protector Bag ExpandForm, a paperbag solution with an expandable feature to safely rollpack mattresses.

Protector Bag ExpandForm replaces the current plastic packaging with a flexible and recyclable alternative. The solution is also customisable and can expand to different sizes while holding the mattress securely. The packaging is made with Mondi’s kraft paper, which is responsibly sourced and renewable, and can be recycled contributing to a circular economy. 

An estimated 3.5 billion plastic water bottles are sold every year in the UK – equivalent to 10 million every day.

A new survey from BRITA UK shows that only 33% would keep purchasing bottled water if there was a 5p levy, suggesting that a policy could potentially radically change the UK’s drinking habits.

In 2015 the Government introduced a 5p charge on single use plastic bags, which led to a monumental 98% reduction in use.

Designed to captivate attention, SIG DomeMini encourages consumers to rethink their packaging choices, especially when it comes to sustainability. Beverage manufacturers also have the opportunity to choose a solution that puts significantly less plastic on the market and caters to the growing ‘paperization’ trend.

STRAIGHT TO THE SOUL

While art rarely allows itself to be easily defined, it often involves provoking the senses. And there is no stronger direct link to our core, than the sense of smell.

There is a physical explanation for this: smell is the only one of our senses that bypasses the thalamus – our body’s information relay station. Everything else we experience is processed there beforebeing sent to the brain for interpretation, but smell goes straight to the soul. That’s why smells can trigger such powerful and immediate sensations; memories, lust, heartache.
