Recycled Content Shrink Wrap

This is the simplest way that big brands are going sustainable nowadays. Still plastic, but at least it is using recycled plastic, which makes use of existing material. If this doesn’t get you excited, let’s move onto the next option. ‍

Compostable Shrink Wrap‍

It looks like plastic and functions like plastic, but it’s not! Compostable shrink wrap is made from plant material and other compounds. A little known fact, most compostable bio resins usually contain trace amounts of petroleum even if they are certified as compostable. Compostable shrink wrap provides consumers with a better end of life scenario than plastic shrink wrap, which is neither recyclable or compostable. 

Fiber-Based Packaging

Forget about plastic all together and wrap the toilet paper rolls directly in paper! That paper can be traditional tree paper, ideally FSC certified and using recycled content, but the paper could also have the added benefit of saving trees by using hemp paper, bamboo paper, or even sugarcane paper! Toilet paper rolls can be sold individually as singles in the paper wrap or when selling multiples, you can put them in a cardboard box.

These are just a few of the sustainable packaging options available and many more are hitting the market as we speak.
