Compost - So Fantastic! Compost, the unsung hero of sustainability, is more than just decaying organic matter; it's a powerhouse of environmental benefits. From enriching soil fertility to reducing waste in landfills, its impact is profound. Composting not only diverts organic waste from trash bins and dumping sites but also promotes biodiversity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Its nutrient-rich end product nourishes plants, fosters healthy ecosystems, and mitigates soil erosion. Healthy soils remain the greatest carbon sinks in the world. Embracing composting at home or in communities is a small yet impactful step towards a greener future. Compost – it's truly fantastic in every way!

It's World Environment Day and this year's theme is Generation Restoration, focusing on growing forests, reviving water sources, and bringing back soils to restore lands for future generations. As a company committed to sustainability, we are dedicated to playing our part in maintaining and improving quality of life for future generations. One part was our tree planting earlier this year where we planted 2,500 trees to promote the biological diversity and ecological benefits of our forests. 🌳🌲 In addition to our tree planting efforts, we also offer a range of sustainable products that are biobased and can be composted. These products are designed to help promote a circular economy. By choosing products like our AIRplus® Bio Home Compostable film or PELASPAN® BIO customers can play their part in supporting Generation Restoration by simply disposing of them alongside organic waste on home compost heaps. The microculture of the compost fully converts the organic packaging into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, thus creating nutritious soil and closing the natural cycle. 🌱

Bokashi: The Secret to Sustainable Food Recycling for Homes and Businesses Bokashi is revolutionizing the way we manage food waste, both at home and in the commercial sector.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 “Waste is wealth!" is a powerful statement that captures the idea of transforming what is often discarded into something valuable. It suggests that waste materials, often overlooked, can be repurposed to create wealth and opportunities, especially within local communities. Consider a community living around Lake Victoria, a region known for its abundant fish supply. The people here, often referred to as fisher communities, rely heavily on fishing and related activities for their livelihoods. The waste generated from these activities, such as fish bones, scales, and other by-products, might be seen as useless by many. However, when these materials are thoughtfully repurposed, they can become valuable resources. By tapping into indigenous knowledge—the traditional wisdom passed down through generations—local communities can find innovative ways to use these waste materials. For instance, they might use fish bones to create jewelry, or fish skin to make durable clothing like jackets. This not only creates jobs but also generates income for the community, fostering self-sufficiency. Moreover, this approach is deeply connected to nature. The process of utilizing local materials in a sustainable manner ensures that the community remains in harmony with their environment. Instead of over-exploiting resources, they find ways to recycle and repurpose, ensuring that the ecosystem remains balanced. As a value chain analyst, watching a video showcasing such practices is incredibly rewarding. It highlights how every step in the value chain—from the raw material to the finished product—can be optimized to benefit the community and the environment. What’s even more inspiring is seeing the effort to train the younger generation to become the next group of artisans. This ensures that the knowledge and skills required to continue these sustainable practices are passed on, securing the community’s future. In this narrative, we see a community not just surviving, but thriving by embracing a circular economy where nothing goes to waste. The idea of trying out a jacket made from locally sourced and sustainably produced materials becomes more than just a fashion statement; it’s a testament to the community’s ingenuity and resilience.

Sustainability isn't about perfection, it's about progress. Every small step, from separating your trash at home to choosing reusable bags, collectively reduces our environmental impact. Imagine a world where waste gets a second life, transformed into valuable resources. The key to unlocking this potential lies in waste separation at source. This simply means sorting your waste into different categories for collection. The shift in mindset starts with YOU! ♻ Design separate bins for recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, metal), organics (food scraps, yard trimmings), and general waste. By separating your waste, you become an active participant in the circular economy.  Recyclables get transformed into new products, and organic waste can be composted into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Together, let's create a world where waste is no longer waste, but a valuable resource! Happy New Week Eco-warriors!

Sustainable act begins with you.

🌱 With more and more communities composting, and more brands switching to compostable packaging, we have improved our planets health! This ever-growing movement to composting and leaving plastic behind is immense and incredibly exciting! Composting significantly reduces landfill waste and our carbon footprint! Imagine the positive impact we'll be enjoying as brands and our leaders commit to compostable solutions. 🌍✨ Composting not only enriches the Earth's soil but also significantly lowers methane emissions from landfills, which are a major contributor to climate change. According to the EPA, composting 100 pounds of food waste can reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to driving a car for 68 miles! At Elevate Packaging, we believe in more than just creating compostable packaging – we focus on ensuring that packaging actually gets composted. All of Elevate Packaging Solutions are part of a circular system, making sure our materials used by our clients make it back to the earth, enriching the soil and supporting a sustainable future. Supplier and brand partnerships with CSI (Compost Stewardship Institute), CSI provides all the tools and systems needed to make this a reality. It's time to shift from compostable packaging to ensuring it gets composted. Shifting to composting our packaging eliminates the environmental and health hazards caused by plastics, making the world a cleaner and better place for all of us. We have the ability to do this! Together, we can create a lasting, positive impact on our planet. Let's embrace this opportunity and make a real difference! 🌿💪 #Sustainability #Composting #CircularEconomy #EcoFriendly #GreenFuture US Composting Council Compost Manufacturing Alliance LLC Sustainable Brands Sustainability Apple Google Microsoft Amazon Bezos Earth Fund
