Ek Plastic Bottle Pani Me Gayi Chapak! Do Plastic Bottle Pani Me Gayi Chapak!! Didn't this sound weird? Yes? If this doesn't sound weird to you, then let me share some stats. (No one listens without numbers these days.) Last Sunday, I posted about research on water usage in different products. Here I am again with something else... According to the Water Calculator by Eco Rise, ironically, for every 1 liter of packaged plastic water, it requires 2 liters of water to manufacture that bottle. Furthermore, that same bottle will most probably end up in a landfill or dumped in a water body. >>> In 2014, there was 1 kg of plastic in the ocean for every 5 kg of fish, and by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish. Even a single A4 size paper creates a water footprint of 5 liters! (Deforestation exits the chat.) But sometimes we just can't avoid using plastic bottles or paper. So what's the solution? Other than conventional ways, there are some more ways that we can follow! While researching, I found out that typical household cleaning products contain 85% water and just 15% active ingredients. Isn’t it crazy that despite global initiatives like the Paris Accord, we persist in shipping needless water, boosting carbon footprints? That too in plastic bottles and packets... "Matlab paani ke paise de rhe ho yaar!" So why not be wiser? Let me help! While writing this post, I found out about a startup that is selling not detergent liquid but detergent sheets, and not the usual liquid hand wash but soap tablets that, when mixed with water, create foam for washing. Imagine the reduction in carbon footprints in the supply chain. Even better, they use the least amount of plastic packaging and no toxic chemicals, thus letting more fish swim freely... You can check it out yourself: WaterWise_India (not a paid promotion, just wanted to share something I resonated with.) Rishabhraj Shetty & Varun Vasani are doing something amazing! 🙌 P.S. Think Different, Think Natural! 🍎

Eco-friendly Straws “In the tug of war between paper and plastic straws, paper straws have emerged to be more environment-friendly as compared to plastic straws. With the advent of reforms against single use plastics, paper straws are becoming the need of the hour as beverage brands are turning towards adoption of paper straws to meet the redefined compliance while simultaneously enhancing their sustainable footprint. However, paper straws are considered to be an under performer as they tend to become soggy and limp after some time ultimately tarnishing the entire sipping experience.” “Today, Paper straws are generally made of 3ply structure that outperforms the limitations of single ply structure. The paper and adhesive used in the manufacturing of paper straw is food grade which makes it a worthwhile drinking experience. Talking about its post-consumption fate, the 3ply paper straws today are easy to recycle, however, the need for improved infrastructure is still required. Another important aspect of paper straws is its decomposition, while the plastic straws take upto 200 years to decompose, paper straws decompose in 2 months on landfills and 6 months if they come in contact with saltwater.” “While the world talks mostly about the post-consumption impact and recyclability of Paper straws over Plastic straws, however one serious concern that eclipsesis the environmental impact of paper straws. It must be noted that paper straws require a lot of energy during the manufacturing process which releases greenhouse gases. Another factor that pulls paper straws down is its cost of production which way higher than plastic straws.” “With the ban on single use plastics coming into force in India, brands are taking long strides to turn to packaging manufacturers to avail paper straws for their products.”

Understanding the True Environmental Impact: A Closer Look at Plastic, Paper, and Cotton Bags In the ongoing debate over which type of bag—plastic, paper, or cotton—is the most environmentally friendly, it’s easy to focus solely on the final stages of a product’s lifecycle. However, to truly assess environmental impact, we must consider the entire lifecycle of each material, from production to disposal. A recent analysis from Columbia University sheds light on this issue, revealing some surprising findings. For instance, producing plastic bags consumes 58 gallons of fresh water, whereas paper bags require a staggering 1,004 gallons. When it comes to energy use, plastic bags require 763 megajoules, while paper bags need 2,622 megajoules. These figures highlight that paper bags, often perceived as the more eco-friendly option, have a significantly higher environmental impact in terms of the resources used during production. Cotton bags, often touted as the sustainable choice, present their own challenges. The production of cotton bags requires substantial water and energy resources, and they need to be reused many times to offset their environmental footprint. This analysis is critically important for industries and consumers alike. Understanding the full lifecycle impact of these materials helps us make more informed choices and develop more sustainable practices. It’s not just about what happens at the end of a product’s life, but the entire journey from production to disposal. As we continue to explore sustainable solutions, it’s essential to evaluate the true environmental cost of our choices, considering every stage of a product's lifecycle.

Cardboard is more sustainable than plastic, right? Maybe not. Schwerdtle Inc. manufactures hot stamp deco dies and heat sealing dies for plastics. We are also certified Gold with EcoVadis so we pay close attention to the plastics market and sustainability trends. It is hard to miss the many misconceptions regarding which products are "green" and what the real problems are in the recycling industry. The use of AI has improved the ability of recycling centers to sort trash but it has a long way to go and it is hit or miss depending on the region of the country one lives in. What we do know is that PET, HDPE, LDPE and PP are very recyclable - much more so than glass and in many cases, cardboard. Many of our customers have made tremendous investments into supply chain management to incentivize their customers to return their end-of-life products to be ground and used in making new products. Investment by our government on the recycling infrastructure nationwide would be a worthwhile effort affecting the future welfare of all citizens. The path to green isn't solely plastic-free; it's about strategic national and global recycling practices. 🌍 #Sustainability #Recycling #Plastics #EcoVadis #SupplyChainManagement

Despite a growing consumer preference for a plastic-free world, there is a clear knowledge gap when it comes to hidden plastics encountered in their daily lives. * Things like laundry liquids, dishwasher tablets or even food packaging are all products which most of us use or come across in our daily lives, many of which contain plastics. * In a recent survey we conducted with Yonder Research, we found that the majority of the public was unaware of the use of plastics in these products, particularly when it comes to food packaging. * Despite 75% of the public stating they prefer cardboard packaging for takeaways to be coated with natural materials instead of plastic, only 40% were aware of the use of plastic coatings in these products. Additionally, 69% were unfamiliar with the existence of completely plastic-free, new materials. * This lack of knowledge means, that despite many feeling optimistic that plastic will become a material of the past, the public remains largely unaware of how much plastic is hidden in everyday products - even those with green packaging labels.* For food brands, looking to meet the demands of their environmentally-conscious consumers - making the shift towards completely plastic-free packaging is key.

Plastic Alternatives: First, we can look at what plastic replaced - at first this was paper, glass, and metal in packaging. https://lnkd.in/gEFUqAAr. Probably also cardboard, since corrugated cardboard was patented in 1871 and Plastic didn't start to replace paper, etc until 1930's. I find the kraft paper (packaging paper), cardboard, old clothes, paperboard, etc are very good alternatives to bubble wrap or air bags. There's also cornstarch packaging peanuts. I do use bubble wrap and air bags only because someone else sent them to me and it's better to reuse them than to trash them. If you need lots of bubble-type packaging check out honeycomb packaging and bubble paper. For food wrap - aluminum (aluminium) foil and beeswax wrap, compostable ziploc-type bags exfoliation - coffee grounds, oatmeal, honey, yogurt, ... long list - I don't exfoliate, so can't recommend Laundry - laundry detergent sheets, powder in paperboard box Trashbags - biodegradable trashbags Grocery bags - paper bags, reusable bags (many of which are plastic, but reusable) Straws - metal straws, don't use straws - it's more fun that way water bottles - water filter - may use plastic, but will last longer; glass bottles, boxed drinks - may use plastic, but will be less. Food service boxes - compostable food services boxes. Blisterpacks - paper blisters - check it out! Bamboo is a common alternative to plastic - in many forms. Hard Plastic - bamboo, carbon fiber/fibre, metal (refining process may rule out metal) Drink cups - take your own metal or glass drinking bottle. For travel use a Sawyer Squeeze or similar filter When possible, don't buy new. The above are my own list https://lnkd.in/gvEQusjn has more
