Climate change, driven primarily by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, poses a pressing global threat with far-reaching consequences for economies, humanity, and the planet. The nexus between the Climate Crisis and the use of plastics and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging is particularly significant, surpassing the attention it receives in headlines. The continuous and extensive global transportation of raw materials and goods, facilitated by shipping tanker fleets, aircraft, and road freight, contributes substantially to emissions, necessitating a critical reduction in links within global supply chains. Shifting towards local production and adoption of Sustainable Packaging Chemistry, which involves replacing or significantly reducing plastics in FMCG packaging with degradable materials like paper, emerges as a vital solution. This approach not only addresses waste and pollution but also aligns with the urgent need to combat climate change by curbing toxic emissions. Moreover, using paper as a base material contributes to increased oxygen production and CO2 absorption through photosynthesis, offering a crucial remedy at a time when the Amazon rainforest, historically a carbon sink, is emitting more CO2 than it absorbs. The call to action emphasizes the collective responsibility to be part of the solution and underscores the significance of individual actions in mitigating the environmental crisis.
