Paper Food Packaging: Why It Should Replace Plastic

In the face of climate change and the ecological disaster that is happening before our eyes. We cannot remain powerless. Each of us must act at our own level. As citizens, we must act responsibly towards our consumption. And companies must move towards a sustainable way of operating. 

We are, unfortunately, no longer at the stage where we can afford the luxury of asking ourselves whether we should act. So now is the time for us to change our habits.

 Maybe starting by replacing your plastic packaging with paper food packaging.
First of all, start by questioning yourself and asking yourself this question:

As a restaurateur, what can I do?

First, remove the plastic from your restaurant. Plastic is the invention of the 20th century and the scourge of the 21st. Despite a waste management system, plastic is difficult to recycle. Open-air waste dumps poison the soil. Gigantic islands of waste significantly pollute the oceans. 

The fauna and flora are in more danger than ever. Many species have become extinct or are in danger of disappearing. 

In short, it is a real disaster. We must absolutely limit our waste production, and the first enemy to eliminate is plastic.

To do this, start by examining your food packaging. Are they made of plastic? First mistake. But don’t worry, it’s a problem you can easily fix. Eliminate plastic food packaging and replace it with eco-friendly paper packaging.

The advantages of replacing your plastic packaging with paper food packaging:

Types of Paper Food Packaging

1. Your ecological impact

First of all, your ecological impact. Switching to a paper alternative will drastically reduce your negative impact on the environment. Indeed, paper food packaging is compostable and therefore completely recyclable. 

Unlike plastic food packaging, which never really disappears from the earth’s surface. In fact, it is estimated that for every 10 seconds, approximately 300,000kg of plastic and polystyrene food packaging are being disposed into the global environment. 

By making the switch, your restaurant contributes to a cleaner environment while showing customers you care about sustainability. Choosing eco-friendly paper food packaging not only reduces waste but also strengthens your brand as a responsible business.

2. Danger to consumers’ health

Secondly, plastic food packaging is harmful to your customers’ health. Indeed, plastic is composed of many chemicals that are harmful to humans. Even if the plastic of your food packaging is considered healthy, micro particles are still deposited in the food and therefore in your body. 

That’s why choosing paper food packaging is a safer, healthier alternative for both your customers and your business.

3. Improve your customer experience

Ultimately, transitioning to paper-based food packaging will significantly enhance the customer experience. Imagine a dish of Bolognese pasta in a simple transparent plastic box.

Now picture it in a pretty paper packaging, perfectly leakproof, with your logo on it and with a design you have chosen. The choice is easy, isn’t it? Certainly, the price will be slightly higher. 

Nevertheless, the design makes a huge difference. Moreover, studies have shown that one-third of consumer decision-making is based on packaging design. 

With customised paper food packaging that reflects your brand image, your brand identity will continue to grow. 

And it’s also a great way to promote your restaurant by letting customers advertise simply by being in public with your paper packaging customized to your image.
