Industry Outlook
Since first introduced in the 1950s, over 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced, resulting in plastic waste that is detrimental to our oceans, lakes, rivers and land. Currently over 380 million metric tons of plastic are being produced annually. Plastic pollution is a reality and single-use plastics are a large contributor. Estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away. Global society has developed a “disposable” lifestyle.
 
It is now scientifically proven that reuse should be considered on a case-by-case basis as it is not always the best environmental option. A peer-reviewed study shows that reusable packaging has a stronger impact on climate than recyclable corrugated.
