Cardboard has long been considered one of the top choices for printing and packaging. Here are a few reasons why it’s a more eco-friendly and practical option compared to others:
• Recyclable and biodegradable: Cardboard is fully recyclable and breaks down naturally, reducing its impact on landfills and minimizing long-term pollution.
• Sustainably sourced: Unlike petroleum-based materials like plastic, cardboard comes from renewable resources, making it a more environmentally responsible option for ecosystems.
• Lower carbon footprint: The production of cardboard produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than making plastic or metal, helping to combat global warming.
• Versatile and protective: Lightweight yet durable, cardboard is perfect for safeguarding products during transit.
• Cost-effective: Beyond its environmental benefits, cardboard is an affordable material, allowing businesses to choose sustainable packaging at a reasonable price.
• Compatible with vegetable-based inks: Cardboard can be printed with eco-friendly inks, which further reduces its environmental impact and avoids harmful chemicals.
At Litoplas, we focus on producing packaging with cardboard and taking our responsibility to the environment seriously. In 2024, in collaboration with Sharkit and Kimberly Clark, we recycled 2,782 tons of paper and cardboard waste, saving 47,318 trees. Sustainability and efficiency are at the core of every product we make.
