Navigating Plastic Bans: A Compliance Guide for Retailers

The End of Single-Use Plastic

Governments worldwide are closing the loop on single-use plastics. For retailers, this presents both a compliance risk and a PR opportunity.

The Risks of Non-Compliance

Fines, supply chain disruptions, and reputational damage are real threats. Sticking to inventory that might be banned next month is a risky business strategy.

Paper: The Safe Haven

Paper packaging is universally accepted as the compliant alternative. It falls outside the scope of most plastic bans because it is inherently biodegradable.

Marketing Your Compliance

Don't just comply—brag about it! displaying "100% Plastic Free" or "Sustainably Sourced" on your packaging resonates deeply with modern consumers. It turns a regulatory headache into a brand strength.
