Plastic is cheap, flexible, robust and versatile, the ideal product for a huge range of packaging formats. This is both the benefit, and the drawback of plastic – as it has led to it being used in enormous quantities worldwide, which in turn is contributing to the global plastics crisis.
Beiersdorf reduces plastic usage and cuts CO2 emissions with an innovative new renewable plastic packaging for their NIVEA Naturally Good product range.
Ocean plastic is consistently hitting the headlines as a key issue in our global plastics crisis. Once there it is causing devastating damage to the marine environment and creating a soup of toxic microplastics. It is also harming humanity and other land animals as it is getting into our food chain through fish we eat.
Our client Mon Exports, based in India, take their social contribution seriously. They make bags and luggage for their client’s brands, and had traditionally relied on materials such as Leather, Canvas (Waxed/Non-Waxed), Cork, Jute and Rattan. Realising that their clients and end customers were becoming increasingly concerned with environmental issues and sustainability, they were looking for a new production material which could directly address these concerns. Ocean Bound Plastic was their answer.
Reduce-reuse-recycle is more than just a catchy mantra, rather it can form the basis of an effective strategy for avoiding plastic waste. For businesses of all sizes, avoiding unnecessary plastics consumption and switching to reusable materials is an important step when working towards an environmentally friendly future.

The modern era has been dubbed the ‘Plastic Age’ by scientists who have found plastic pollution is now being deposited into the fossil record. An audit of waste plastic conducted by Greenpeace and Break Free from Plastic highlighted the huge extent to which businesses are contributing to our plastic crisis. However, it’s not just the producers of plastic products, or products packaged in plastic, who need to reevaluate their plastic impact. If we are to turn the tide on this global waste crisis, then all businesses need to take stock and take action to ensure that they are both reducing their use of plastic and responsibly managing their plastic waste.
