Transparent Boxes: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
We only use materials that can be recycled
Our transparent boxes are the ideal solution if you want packaging that is eco-friendly, recyclable and helps tackle today’s big plastic problem.
According to Plastic Pollution, 80% of the pollution found in our oceans comes from the land and between 60 and 90% of this is plastic waste, stuff that we produce. We only have to see the large numbers of videos of beaches, rivers and seas infested with everything from plastic bottles to grocery bags to realise what a problem this for our planet and wildlife.
We all have an obligation to reduce our plastic waste and that includes businesses who use plastic packaging for their products.
Our transparent boxes are available in many different shapes and sizes and are made from the most recyclable materials on the planet. That means our packaging is less likely to end up in our oceans and will be recycled or reused instead.
In the past, most of our waste would have gone to landfill. These are huge areas of waste, out in the open, where rubbish of all kinds is likely to find its way into the surrounding ecosystem. Plastic is one of the most useful materials we have at our disposal today but it has one big failing – it doesn’t degrade for hundreds and hundreds of years.
If waste finds its way into the sea, it can be swallowed by marine life. Even small bits of plastic can have hugely damaging effects.
The reuse, reduce and recycle process is something we should all be conscious of. The first principle is to reuse plastic where we can. Rather than buy a single-use bottle of water, for example, buy a reusable container like a flask that isn’t going to be thrown into the trash.
The second principle is to reduce our use of plastics as much as possible. This can be difficult for businesses that sell products but for consumers, it means looking out for products and packaging that is more eco-friendly or avoiding plastic at all.
Finally, if you can’t reuse or reduce, the option is recycling. Our transparent boxes are made from three key ingredients that are recyclable: Polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride.
These three materials are the most recycled in the world and we use them exclusively for all our products.
If you are a business that is looking for a greener packaging options, our transparent boxes are available in a wide range of different sizes and designs. Whether you have large items to transport or want to get novelty gifts and small items ready for the stores, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Customers are beginning to become more educated when it comes to things like plastic packaging. Sales of loose vegetables in supermarkets is on the rise, for example, as we opt for a much greener solution.
When packaging is needed, many consumers now look for that tell-tale recycling sign.
If your company packaging can be recycled, you improve your chances of being picked over a competitor who is less eco-friendly.
