Out now - 'Pack4Good' reveals the staggering 3.1 billion trees that are lost each year to paper packaging.
Canopy Planet's 'Pack4Good' campaign advocates for sustainable solutions to protect our forests and biodiversity and to ensure the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests aren’t cut down to package your next delivery.
When it comes to packaging, we all know plastic is bad. Paper, however, enjoys a much better reputation. But for every paper straw, cup, food container, or bag, trees are being cut. Not just a few, but a whopping 3.1 billion each year for the paper packaging industry.
Many believe this isn't a big problem because trees are replanted. In reality, many trees are still sourced from wild, ancient forests rather than planted sites. Furthermore, planted forests are often monocultures that support very little biodiversity, making them vulnerable to disease. Once these planted forests are cut, their sites are destroyed, and take another 20+ years to regrow.
