With the increasingly serious environmental pollution, the discussion on "sustainable packaging" has never stopped, and some giant companies have already begun to take action.
Amazon & Coca-Cola
Amazon has made major strategic adjustments in shipping packaging. It plans to use Bubble Mailer (bubble bags) and compact cartons for packaging and shipping as much as possible. The Coca-Cola Company announced on January 22 that it will reshape its global strategy for sustainable packaging. By 2030, 100% of the company's packaging will be recycled and reused in the same amount. To this end, Coca-Cola will continue to invest in the two major directions of environmental protection and packaging innovation in the future, making the issue of packaging waste a thing of the past.

Unilever & Starbucks
Unilever Global CEO Polman called on January 23 that the consumer goods industry needs to increase its efforts to actively respond to the increasing challenges of marine plastic waste and help realize the plastic circular economy. The British Parliament proposed a tax on disposable paper cups, and Starbucks took the initiative to participate in this proposal. Starting in February this year, 20-25 Starbucks in London will begin trial operation, charging an extra 5 pence for each disposable paper cup, and the trial period will be three months.
European Union
The EU announced the latest plastic restriction plan, saying that by 2030, all plastic packaging will be recycled and disposable plastics such as coffee cups will no longer be used to combat pollution. Global packaging giant Tetra Pak has pledged to support the European Commission’s plastics strategy and announced it as part of the European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan. Tetra Pak said it will work with industry partners to ensure that by 2030, all components of beverage cartons will be provided with recycling solutions for full recycling in Europe.
