Why We Ditched Plastic — The Hard Facts

Packaging is the single biggest source of plastic waste (≈40 %).
79 % of all plastics ever made now sit in landfills or the natural environment—this could reach 12 billion t by 2050.
Expanded polystyrene (thermocol) can linger for ~500 years, fragmenting into micro‑plastics that harm wildlife and enter our food chain.
Every year 11 million t of plastic waste drifts into our oceans; without action, the flow may nearly triple by 2040.
Paper enjoys a global recycling rate close to 60 %, giving it multiple life‑cycles instead of centuries in a dump.

Shock absorption without foam — honeycomb paper’s spring structure matches EPS drop‑test performance.
Moisture & dust shield — triple‑wall cartons and soy‑ink prints resist humidity while staying toxin‑free.
30 % lighter cartons — lower freight emissions on every shipment.
Flat‑pack & recycle — fold everything and put it with regular cardboard or composting.

No thermocol. Just honeycomb paper and kraft boards.

30% lighter packaging reduces freight emissions.

Everything goes with cardboard. Or compost it.

Tag #OltaoGreenWrap and we plant one for you.

OLD MATERIAL	OUR REPLACEMENT	PLANET BENEFIT
Thermocol blocks	Mould‑cut corrugated sleeves + honeycomb kraft	Fully compostable, zero micro‑plastics
Poly bags	Plant‑based tissue wraps	Breaks down within months in compost
Bubble wrap	Hex‑mesh paper cushioning	Recyclable, > 50 % post‑consumer fibre
Plastic tape	Kraft tape tape	No petrochemicals

By switching every OLTAO order to plastic‑free packaging from July 2025, we project:

22 tons of plastic eliminated in year one (enough to fill ~110,000 one‑litre bottles).
75 t CO₂‑eq avoided via lighter shipping weight and recycled paper inputs (verified by SimaPro LCA).
