WHICH IS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE CHOICE BETWEEN PAPER AND PLASTIC?
Can't we agree with Gladys Naylor, group head of sustainable development, for the Mondi group? "There is no easy answer when it comes to deciding what the most sustainable material choice for packaging is. There are so many variables to consider around raw material sourcing, functionality, recyclability and the like," she writes on the Csomagazine. Paper, plastic, glass and metal have advantages depending on use, and different environmental impacts. It goes without saying that life cycle assessments deem paper bags to be less environmentally-friendly than plastic ones. "The levels of energy and water consumption during the paper production process are higher, and high-density plastic shopping bags can perform better than low-quality paper bags in terms of durability and waste volume," she adds. Another point for consideration is that paper can be easily recycled at scale and it is naturally compostable. On the other hand there is a sustainable way of doing business with plastics.
