Sustana’s Post

We've got some exciting news to share with you!!   We are happy to announce one major step taken by us on the path of #Sustainability. We're shifting to #Recycled paper for all our non-essential and non-project printing purposes! We are proud to do what's right—it's a greener, environment-friendly outlook. This initiative serves well towards a circular economy. Choosing recycled paper saves the #Environment from #ClimateChange. It saves trees and forests, reduces waste and pollution, reduces energy consumption, lowers carbon footprint, and preserves the usage of further raw materials. We all need to be able to make a difference that is positive for ourselves as well as for the upcoming generations. We hope our contributions to society act as a guiding light for other businesses to follow responsible practices for a greener, #sustainable future.

We know that sustainability and environmental footprint is at the forefront of business minds right now. There's often misconceptions around the sustainability of print media, however in 2022 a total of 55 million tonnes of paper was collected and recycled in Europe – a recycling rate of 71%. Making paper one of the most recycled products in the world. #printmedia #doordrop #sustainability

🌱 Could your spring product lineup use a spring cleaning?🌱 🌺 As we embrace Earth Day and the fresh start of the season, let’s remember to consider using sustainable materials. Here are three key strategies for eco-conscious packaging: 1️⃣ Design for Recycling: Optimize performance while keeping the product’s life cycle in mind. By creating packaging that’s easy to recycle, we contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused efficiently. Our resources can live again.🌲 2️⃣ Increase Recycled Content: Incorporate more recycled materials into your products. Paperboard options containing PCR content are better than ever. Many flexible films use the same PCR content strategy to reduce overall waste. Let’s put that recycled content back to use! ♻ 3️⃣ Waste Management: If recyclability isn’t an option, there are ways to reduce impacts on the environment through energy efficiency, material reductions, and digital printing. We can help you to design a supply chain that preserves our world. 🌎 Let’s continue to reduce our impact on the environment and promote a circular economy through our work together.

Things we're learning as we continue to expand on Flexpack product line

We’re on a mission to make big changes that have a positive impact on the environment. That means not just looking at what our products do, but how we make them, package them, and ship them too. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we have made the conscious choice to transition from full-colour boxes to environmentally friendly brown printed boxes. What this will mean: 📦 30% less cardboard contributing to 72,000kg less paper per year. 📦 Made from 70% recycled material and are 100% recyclable. This change will be one of the many initiatives we will be implementing this year to reduce our carbon impact and contribute to a healthier planet. See what else we are committing to do: https://bit.ly/3S2nfL5 Join us in our mission to protect the environment, one box at a time. #ShapingASustainableFuture #ADEY

🌿 Sustainability of Ansa PE Stretch Films PE stretch films' sustainability varies: Material Source: Recycled or bio-based PE enhances sustainability. Recyclability: Films labeled #2 (HDPE) are more recyclable. Thickness: Thinner, lightweight films reduce material usage. Additives: Consider environmental impact of additives. End-of-Life: Proper disposal or recycling is crucial. Shelf Life: Films aiding product shelf life reduce waste. Choose wisely for a greener packaging future! 🌍🔄 #Sustainability #Packaging #PEStretchFilms

It’s not uncommon for people to assume that paper communications are bad because they’re read and then immediately thrown away, contributing towards waste.   In fact, paper is one of the most recycled resources we have. On average, it's recycled and reused 3.8 times. And the paper recycling rate in Europe is the highest in the world at 74%.   That's pretty impressive as 78% is seen as the practical max due to things such as the ability to actually collect 100% of consumption.   You can love paper, and continue to use print as part of your marketing. Because we deliver sustainable products that minimise your impact on the environment and help you achieve your objectives. Talk to us, it's good to talk. #sustainable #sustainability #sustainableprint #sustainableprinting #ecoprint #loveprint #lovepaper #environmentalresponsibility #environment  

Hear from Martyn Tickner, our Chief Advisor for Circular Solutions, as he discusses how technologies like digital watermarking can transform recycling. Digital watermarks are imperceptible codes printed on plastic packaging that hold information about material type and use. These codes can be detected by high-resolution cameras at recycling centres, increasing the accuracy and speed of plastic waste sorting. But the true power of digitalisation in recycling lies in the insights it unlocks. As Martyn outlines, these technologies can empower stakeholders in the plastic value chain with the data needed to drive more efficient recycling, improve product design and inform policy. #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #digitalisation #recycling #digitalwatermarks #HolyGrail2
