The better is the enemy of the good

Our plastic packaging waste is preserved for centuries and pollutes the oceans, unless it is burned. Since the presentation of the Ellen McArthur Foundation at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2018, no one seriously denies this and has triggered disruptive changes. What was once dismissed as an issue for tree huggers is developing into innovative business models in many industries.

In the paper industry these changes are not only a chance for more sustainability but also a necessity. In the digital age opening up new markets is a real challenge. It’s all about creativity, because it’s not just about replacing unsuitable materials, but also about other uses, about a different lifestyle that is currently being developed. Creative developments are leading small and large companies to innovative applications, more efficient processes and designs that are recyclable without a negative environmental impact. These are examples for successful innovation:
