Even small changes to packaging that perhaps aren’t necessarily thought of as potential game changers can make a big sustainable impact. Enter Pristine, a provider of quality paper products, and a brand that has just introduced tissue boxes containing no plastic collar – that little strip of plastic that lines the opening of tissue boxes.
Humble, but here’s the fact: this change will result in approximately 1200kg of plastic being eliminated from tissue boxes across Australia and New Zealand each year. With only 18% of all plastic packaging in Australia being recycled for future use and 41% of recyclable plastic sent to landfill in New Zealand, this is a significant sustainable shift and a laudable example of making every possible solution count.
By taking proactive steps to reduce plastic waste, Pristine continues in its drive to develop products that meet Bunzl’s quality and sustainability goals.
