Forests, woods, and trees around us are not doing well. And if trees
aren't doing well, humans consequently do worse. Trees and plants play a
fundamental role in cleaning the air, providing us with oxygen and food while
also fighting soil erosion and retaining pollutants.
Trees make up 80% of the food we eat and produce 98% of the oxygen we breathe. That's why the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) launched 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health: Plant health is our health. And planting trees will become the buzzword.
There are many possible solutions we can all adopt to save trees. First of all, each of us should plant a tree. A single tree per person would be enough to make a big difference. In situations where this not possible, there are environmental protection organizations that give the possibility on their website to buy or donate a tree. Another possible solution to preserve green areas on Earth is eating less meat. The higher the demand for meat, the more you need to cultivate to feed animals and grow their food.
But the best and most efficient solution of all is to use the right amount of raw materials, especially paper. We should all try to minimize the use of paper, starting from the small daily actions. For example, there's always that one photocopy we print per day that we could not have printed.
With this in mind, BOTTA Packaging is committed to the challenge of saving
trees. BOTTA Packaging makes its packaging from corrugated cardboard. This is a
circular choice aimed at saving trees. In fact, corrugated cardboard is 100%
recyclable, biodegradable, and produced from renewable sources. It lends itself
to being recycled and reused in different ways. Recycled fibers often make up
88% of the raw material with which new packaging will be made.
In its own way, BOTTA Packaging tries to do its part every day, thanks to its commitment and eco-products range.
