For a long time in the past, although people knew that there must be better alternative materials for box packaging besides plastic, they have not found a substitute that is 100% harmless to the natural environment and can provide 100% protection for products. In 2026, FENGDUN proposed this creative choice for the packaging industry. This is our first step towards a cleaner and safer environment. Let's work together to fight against one of the biggest threats to our planet and ecosystem: plastics.
The plastic crisis is more urgent than we imagine
More than 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year, with only 9% being recycled People are demanding a change in their predicament, and businesses are also aware of the seriousness of this issue
- 66% of global consumers indicate that they are willing to pay a little more to purchase sustainable products. *
- 84% of consumers try to find safer and more reliable products as much as possible. **
- 81% of consumers believe that implementing environmental improvement projects is very important for businesses. ***
- Out of 192 countries worldwide, 127 countries have enacted legislation to regulate the manufacturing, sale, use, and disposal of disposable plastics.
- More than 60 countries have introduced restrictions, bans, and taxation measures on disposable plastic waste.
Why is paper packaging more environmentally friendly
- Reproducible
Paper is one of the most common and environmentally friendly materials because it is made from renewable resources, fully biodegradable, and can be recycled as a raw material for renewable energy. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, while as a wood product, paper maintains its carbon properties throughout its lifecycle.
- Biodegradable
Biodegradation is the process by which biological organisms break down substances into basic compounds such as carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. For natural products like paper, the degradation process only takes one week to a few months. Other artificial products, such as plastics, have a long degradation time, so in actual use, they are considered non biodegradable.
- Recyclable
Recycling paper saves natural resources, energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and increases available space in landfills. The recycling of paper reduces our dependence on petroleum products that pose serious environmental hazards, such as plastics. Paper is the product with the highest recycling rate in Europe, with a recycling rate of over 72%.
