Plastic Free July 2026 is the ideal opportunity to review the materials your business uses every day.
Consumer demand for sustainable packaging continues to grow. In fact, 84% of European consumers say they would choose cartonboard over plastic packaging when given the option.
Many plastic products already have paper-based alternatives. Making the switch can reduce plastic waste, support sustainability goals and strengthen your brand’s environmental commitment.
At PG Paper, we make the transition simple by sourcing paper and board solutions that meet your performance, quality and sustainability requirements.
1. Replace Plastic Bags with Paper Bags
Kraft paper bags offer a recyclable and renewable alternative for retail and takeaway businesses.
They provide a premium customer experience while demonstrating your commitment to reducing plastic use.
2. Swap Plastic Cups for Paper Cups
Paper cups lined with testliner and fluting paper are an excellent option for cafés, events and hospitality businesses.
They help reduce reliance on single-use plastics without compromising functionality.
3. Choose Kraft Paper Mailers
Replace plastic bubble mailers with kraft paper mailers for e-commerce and postal packaging.
Paper mailers are lightweight, durable and widely recyclable.
4. Protect Products with Corrugated Paper
Inflatable plastic bubble wrap isn’t the only protective packaging available.
Corrugated paper liners provide cushioning while supporting more sustainable packaging choices.
5. Use Greaseproof Paper Instead of Plastic Wrap
For food packaging and wrapping applications, greaseproof paper offers a practical paper-based alternative to plastic films and wraps.
It delivers the performance businesses need while helping reduce plastic consumption.
