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.

Our #UnboxingTheTruth series addresses myths, misconceptions, and mistruths about packaging. As a century-old business, we’ve seen it all – and we’re here to help you understand the truth when it comes to packaging. Next up in the series? Packaging automation. ➡️ The Myth: Automating your packaging lines eliminates jobs at your organization. ➡️ The Truth: There’s no question that enabling packaging automation greatly streamlines packaging operations and increases throughput — but it also allows you to redirect packaging line employees to higher value-added tasks. Shifting employees away from manual packaging tasks that require repetitive motions and lifting heavy materials can also decrease the risk of injury and increase employee safety for the organization. Shorr’s Packaging Automation Group is ready to help your business navigate the transition from manual to automated packaging processes. Shorr’s expansive partner network of equipment manufacturers and industry expertise has helped countless companies update their packaging capabilities and increase profits.
