Pulp Paper & Logistics
COMMENT
Now it is all about packaging and tissue and meeting modern-day consumer trends. The growth in packaging papers and board has been driven by on-line home deliveries and the need to reduce disposable plastic packaging with its environmental impact.
W Demand for paper and board packaging has grown as retailers
have responded to consumers calling for less reliance on plastic. For example, Iceland, the UK’s leading frozen-food specialist, has
been reducing plastic usage in its stores through several initiatives that will collectively each year remove more than 3,000 tonnes of the material.
This reduction has been achieved by Iceland implementing a number of changes, both to food packaging and with its in-store operations that will come into full effect this year.
Iceland will eliminate plastic from its egg packaging, replacing it
with boxes made from paper pulp, which will remove 600 tonnes of plastic a year. It follows the retailer’s recent launch of the UK’s first plastic-free packaged bananas, which will remove 10 million single- use plastic bags a year, a further saving of 57 tonnes.
In October, Iceland will no longer offer single-use plastic carrier bags in its stores, following a successful three-month trial which commenced in July. This move alone will reduce Iceland’s plastic use by over 1,600 tonnes per year. The plastic bags will be replaced with 10p bags for life made from post-consumer waste.
All of which is good news for the pulp and paper industry. For the next issue (March-April) submissions for any of the
following topics should be emailed to pulppaperlogistics@
virginmedia.com by 4 March. Subjects to be covered will be: Machine clothing (including rolls, wires, felts, belts, ropes and blades); Felt management and inspection; Packaging production and associated equipment.
