Amazon’s recent switch from plastic air-pillow cushioning to recycled paper filler signals the company’s large commitment to sustainability. The move will impact two billion packages and eliminate nearly 15 billion plastic air pillows annually. At Shorr, we know “sustainability” is no longer just a buzzword – and Amazon’s shift to paper cushioning is a telling sign that eCommerce brands across the globe will begin looking to update their packaging practices (if they haven’t already). We're leading the charge with eco-friendly packaging solutions that not only meet your end customer’s demand for curbside recyclable materials but also provide unique packaging solutions designed to protect your bottom line – and our planet.

With our #UnboxingTheTruth series, Shorr is committed to creating transparency and clarity in our industry around questions and topics that we’re frequently asked. Next up is a question that consistently comes up in sustainable packaging conversations with Shorr customers: Is paper or plastic more “sustainable”? ➡️ The Myth: Paper is always the more sustainable choice compared to plastic packaging materials. ➡️ The Truth: It depends on a variety of factors, including the type of material being used, the intended use of the packaging materials, and the disposal method of the products. Let’s dive into the specifics: ♻️ Paper is a renewable resource and can be recycled multiple times, which helps drive its popularity as a sustainable packaging choice for many companies. Some paper packaging products may even be compostable. However, manufacturing paper requires a significant amount of energy and water. Additionally, deforestation for paper production also has negative impacts on biodiversity. 🌐 Plastic packaging products are often lightweight and durable, making them a popular choice for companies looking to create efficiencies in their packaging. However, plastic is made from non-renewable fossil fuels, is often single-use, and can exist for hundreds of years after its initial consumption. Plastic pollution and waste can impact the environment and harm marine life and ecosystems. The verdict? Paper packaging products can be a more sustainable option for short-term use. For longer-term use, plastic may be a more sustainable option due to its durability and the fact that it can be reused multiple times. The bottom line: The best choice for your sustainable packaging needs depends on the product, its intended use, and the disposal method.

Case in point: Our partnership with a leading agricultural manufacturer is helping it reduce Scope 3 CO2e emissions by 30% – a key milestone in its mission to hit major sustainability goals by 2030. Shorr’s experts recommended a switch in packaging materials that helped drive significant environmental savings. After our STAMP™ audit (Shorr Total Approach to Managed Packaging) uncovered key opportunities and our sustainability experts formed a strategy, we were able to put a plan in place that reduced greenhouse gases by more than 43.6M lbs., while eliminating over 15.8M lbs. of solid waste!
