Our environmental goals in action
Plastic Vs Paper
Plastic is often seen as the enemy of sustainability. But reports have suggested that paper isn’t as eco-friendly as it may seem.
Plastic is a terrible waste polluter, but paper requires more energy to produce – navigating choices can be a real challenge!
Plastic | Paper |
---|---|
LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT: | HIGHER CARBON FOOTPRINT: |
4 x less energy is used to produce a plastic bag than a paper bag | 4 x more energy is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic bag |
Plastic is lighter than paper so less fuel is used to transport it | You would need to use a paper bag at least to make it more environmentally friendly than a plastic bag |
WASTE & DISPOSAL: | WASTE & DISPOSAL: |
Most types of plastic can be recycled | Paper is biodegradable and more widely recyclable than plastic |
Plastic can take years to decompose and micro plastics contribute to the tonnes of waste flowing into our oceans each year | Trees are a renewable resource and can be replanted We actively contribute to tree regeneration by donating to charities like Trees for Cities |
