Every year, the world emits over 36 billion tons of CO₂ [1].Meanwhile, forests are disappearing at a rate of 10 million hectares annually [2], and more than 400 million tons of plastic waste are generated each year [3]. Packaging — often used for only minutes — is a major contributor to this ongoing carbon problem.
Nature Is Disappearing Faster Than We Think
Global temperature has already increased by 1.1°C [1].Plastic waste is rarely recycled and often ends up in landfills, releasing greenhouse gases over time [3]. This is not just an environmental issue — it is a business risk.
Packaging and Carbon Emissions
Plastic and EPS foam are petroleum-based.
From production → transportation → disposaleach stage generates CO₂.
Carbon Comparison
Material | CO₂ (kg/kg) |
EPS Foam | 3.5–5.0 |
Plastic | 2.5–3.5 |
Pulp Mold | 0.1–0.3 |
👉 Up to 90–95% lower than foam
🌱 Why Pulp Mold Is Low Carbon
Made from recycled paper
No fossil-based raw material
Lower energy production
Biodegradable
Supports circular economy [6]
How Much CO₂ Does One Bomb Emit?
1 kg TNT ≈ 1 kg CO₂
1 ton TNT ≈ 1,000–1,500 kg CO₂ [7]
War creates spikes of emissions. Packaging creates emissions every day.
Business Perspective
You cannot control global conflicts.But you can control your packaging.
Conclusion
Packaging is no longer just about protection —it is about responsibility.
