The Bitter Truth about Custom Plastic Packaging Sold in Wholesale
As the war of green peace is in full swing against the corporates
the plastic manufacturing industry is constantly under scrutiny about its poor
progress. The plastic manufacturers are straining every nerve to come up with
all kinds of solutions but the change is mundane. Take the meal kit industry's wholesalecustom packaging as an example. A typical household has an unprecedented
amount of plastic that includes polystyrene and polypropylene. The plastic has
been proven to get leaked into the food especially when the food is warm and is
linked to cancer and other health risks by doctors and medical researchers.
The Situation of Plastic on Dumping Grounds
Modern packaging cannot even be imagined without plastic in most
cases. Companies that use plastics for their products are putting in everything
they got to reduce their carbon footprint. Most of the plastic found inland
piles is non-recyclable especially the conditions are much worse in the third
world countries where government administration and bureaucracy is much more
unorganized and chaotic due to problems like nepotism and corruption.
Plastic Free Environment may be a Dream
8 million tons of plastic is condemned into the ocean yearly,
mostly coming from custom packaging. The researchers are
skeptical whether this plastic being dumped into the water will biodegrade or
not. There are concerns that this plastic will decompose into microscopic
pieces that do not lose their toxicity. An alarming research report on the baby
turtles showed that a hundred percent of baby turtles have plastics in their
stomach. What is even more shocking is that microscopic toxic pieces of plastic
have been found in tap water and sea salt around the globe and on top of the
food chain the human feces.
