How ADM is Helping Make Packaging That’s Better for the Planet
Packaging is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives. Almost everything we purchase, consume and use comes in a box, packing material, or container of some kind – from food and beverages to household goods and personal care products. But even as today’s consumers enthusiastically buy and order packaged goods from near and far, ever-growing concerns about climate change are making them increasingly cognizant of the environmental impact of their purchases. This is motivating more and more shoppers to choose products that come in eco-conscious packaging. In fact, a recent survey found that 86% of Americans are more likely to purchase a brand if the packaging is considered sustainable.[1] And for some, it can even be a make-or-break factor. In a separate survey, 44% of consumers said they won’t even consider buying products that come in packaging that is harmful to the environment.Get more news about Boxes Cardboard,you can vist our website!
This is leading a growing number of businesses to seek out sustainable packaging solutions that can help them reduce their environmental footprints and satisfy consumer desire for eco-conscious materials. As a pioneer of plant-based solutions with over a century of experience, ADM is uniquely positioned to meet the burgeoning demand for sustainable packaging. We got our start as a regional linseed oil business in 1902, but in the 120 years since, we have grown into one of the world's largest agricultural processors and providers of food ingredients. As the business has expanded, ADM has cultivated extensive R&D expertise and technical ingenuity that enable us to develop innovative solutions, including the ability to maximize the use of renewable raw materials and focus on recyclability and efficiency to help the packaging industry become more sustainable. Here are three ways ADM is transforming how paper and packaging are made:
Businesses in every sector are facing pressure to become more sustainable, and concerns about environmental impact have many consumers shunning plastic wrapping and packaging. A 2021 survey by Oceana found that 87% of consumers think major online retailers should curb the amount of plastic packaging they use[3] and a recent ReSociety study found that 80% of consumers want to see a reduction in plastic packaging following the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] As a result, paper products made with renewable raw materials are quickly becoming the ideal substitute for companies looking to satisfy today’s eco-conscious customers. To meet demand, paper makers and corrugated cardboard manufacturers are looking for ways to boost the recyclability of their products without sacrificing the quality. At the same time, they also want to find ways to decrease their overall energy consumption, so they can shrink their carbon footprint.
Paper making is the largest non-food application of starches – it consumes millions of metric tons of starch globally every year. ADM manufactures a wide array of starches from crops such as corn and wheat, and the fiber from these crops can be used to create paper-grade starch that allows paper makers to reduce the amount of virgin tree pulp they use, without diminishing the brightness or strength of their product.
