Canopy | Ecofriendly paper packaging made from barley straw reduce air pollution, used by Corona & IKEA @canopycanopee | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Every year over 3.2 billion trees are cut down for paper packaging and for fashion fabrics like viscose. Many of these trees come from the world’s most vital, carbon and biodiversity-rich forests.
At the same time, millions of tonnes of agricultural residue are burned becoming a major source of air pollution in cities like New Delhi, India. Luckily we have solutions to solve both of those crises.
Craste, based in India, is one of Canopy's innovation solution partners implementing them. Craste’s innovative technology takes residues such as rice and barley straw left after the harvest and saves them from the burn pile by turning them into packaging boxes.
Their process is 100% tree-free, requires ⅓ the water of traditional processes, provides a guaranteed income for farmers, and keeps 1460 kg of C02 per tonne of straw out of the atmosphere by preventing crop burning.
Their low-impact packaging products are already being used by companies from Corona to Ikea.
