PPE
What the world needs now is love, sweet love – but also PPE, and lots of it. That’s tough to hear for sustainability advocates who’ve been in the trenches battling the pandemic of single-use plastic for the past few years. Just when we seemed to be turning the tide on throw-away packaging, a PPE tsunami is heading straight for shore. But the war is not yet lost. The world’s first COVID-safe, recyclable, compostable, plastic-free visors – made from FSC paper board and transparent PEFC cellulose from wood pulp – have been launched by A Plastic Planet together with Reelbrands and Transcend Packaging Ltd.
