Consumer Preference For Paper Based Materials At All-Time High The Paper and Packaging Board (P+PB) released its 2021 Campaign Impact Report highlighting consumers’ prefer- ence for paper-based product solutions, ease and impor- tance of recycling, and consumer enthusiasm for paper despite their reduced use. P+PB’s 2021 campaign reinforces the positive connec- tion consumers have with paper’s planet-first benefits. New ads show consumers what their recycling becomes and how often it can be recycled and a habits expert, Wen- dy Wood, Ph.D., educates consumers on how to make pa- per recycling a regular habit. Included in the report is new data from P+PB’s Novem- ber 2021 Attitudes and Usage Tracking survey by Isobar, a prominent global market research agency, showing that consumers in the campaign’s “Expressives” target audi- ence, increasingly have stronger feelings toward the pa- per and packaging industry. Highlights include: • 81 percent of respondents believe that paper-based product packaging is an essential part of everyday life, compared to 59 percent in July 2015. • 68 percent believe that corrugated cardboard boxes are essential to the way they live their lives compared to 55 percent in July 2015. • 83 percent believe the paper industry makes innova- tive products compared to only 66 percent in July 2015. • 76 percent believe the paper industry is trustworthy compared to 61 percent in July 2015. “We are fine tuning how we tell our story so that the simple truths about forests and recycling are easily under- stood and reinforces our audience’s good feelings about using our products,” said Mary Anne Hansan, President of the P+PB. “We will also continue to champion paper and packaging companies’ role in growing forests, a less well understood story we think is important to get into the larg- er narrative about the health of trees in the U.S.” Visit www.howlifeunfolds.com . OSU Study Notes Advance In Turning Apple Waste Into Packaging Material A new study by Oregon State University (OSU) scientists outlines a key advance in turning apple waste into an en- vironmentally friendly packaging material that could serve as an alternative to plastic. Recycled newspaper has traditionally been the main ingredient of so-called molded pulp packaging products, which have become increasingly popular because they are compostable. But the supply of recycled newspaper is in decline, creating a market for substitute materials.
