CLIMATE CHANGE, POLLUTION OR RESOURCES DEPLETION: WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS?
In her article, Eva Lagarde discusses the pressing need for sustainability in the packaging industry and the role that innovative companies like mPackting play in driving positive change. The focus is on mBlack™, a unique material developed by mPackting as part of its efforts to tackle environmental challenges. mBlack™ is derived from upcycling industrial wood production residues. This innovative material contains biochar, a substance known for its ability to sequester carbon over the long term. By using mBlack™, mPackting helps store CO2, acting as a “Climate Cooling Service”, thus reducing carbon emissions and making a significant contribution to addressing climate change.
Paolo Minelli, head of mPackting, emphasized the potential of mBlack™ to serve as a climate-positive material, providing an eco-friendly packaging solution for both mass-market and premium brands. The material is adaptable and can be molded into a variety of packaging formats, catering to the increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the packaging industry.
The article also mentions other emerging sustainable innovations in the industry, such as Element Packaging’s use of captured-carbon PCR packaging, which combines recycled materials with captured carbon to further reduce CO2 emissions. However, the spotlight remains on mPackting’s use of natural, renewable materials, which provide a lasting, positive environmental impact.
As global brands increasingly prioritize sustainability, mPackting continues to lead the way by offering eco-friendly packaging solutions that not only reduce carbon footprints but also actively contribute to reducing CO2 levels. Our efforts align with the growing demand for packaging that positively impacts the environment, helping brands achieve their sustainability goals.
