Anti-Slip Paper: A greener way to secure your products

In an age where environmental consciousness is at the forefront of business practices, companies are continually seeking innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint and make eco-friendly choices. One such solution that has gained popularity in recent years is eco-friendly anti-slip paper. This FSC®-certified, recyclable material not only provides excellent anti-slip properties but also offers significant advantages for your company's environmental impact.

Anti-slip paper has emerged as a versatile and more sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials in palletising such as corrugated cardboard or similar. Unlike corrugated cardboard, which can be heavy, difficult to handle, and non-environmentally friendly, anti-slip paper ticks all the right boxes for companies aiming to reduce their negative environmental impact.

When your company uses anti-slip paper as interlayer sheets between your product layers, you ensure that your products are safe on the pallet during transportation which reduces possible damage to your products. Meanwhile, benefitting from the paper’s superior performance, you also actively participate in a circular economy by minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.

Environmental benefits of using anti-slip paper

Your company gains several benefits by using anti-slip paper as interlayer sheets in your palletising. Here we have listed the 7 biggest benefits that will help you reduce your overall carbon footprint.

1) An FSC®-certified solution

One of the key features that set eco-friendly anti-slip paper apart is its FSC® certification. FSC® certification signifies that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources. Choosing FSC®-certified materials ensures that your company supports responsible forestry practices and contributes to the preservation of our precious forests.

2) Reduced paper consumption

One of the standout benefits of eco-friendly anti-slip paper is its potential to help you reduce your paper consumption by up to 40%. Compared to corrugated cardboard, anti-slip paper is thinner and more flexible which ultimately reduces the total amount of waste generated in packaging your products.

This reduction translates into fewer trees being harvested and less energy consumed in the paper-making process. Moreover, by using anti-slip paper as a substitute for corrugated cardboard, you contribute to conserving natural resources and mitigating climate change.

3) Reduced stretch foil consumption

Another significant advantage of anti-slip paper is its ability to reduce the need for stretch foil by up to 30%. Stretch foil, often used to secure palletised products, is a petroleum-based product that has a substantial environmental impact. By using anti-slip paper as interlayer sheets, you can minimise your use of stretch foil, or perhaps even skip it entirely, depending on your products. Meanwhile, this means that you can also decrease its dependence on fossil fuels and decrease plastic waste, further reducing your carbon footprint.

4) Cost Savings

Reducing paper consumption and stretch foil usage translates into cost savings for your company. Anti-slip paper is not only more environmentally responsible than traditional paper solutions, but it’s also economically attractive.

5) Enhanced reputation

In today’s eco-conscious marketplace, consumers and partners increasingly prefer to engage with environmentally responsible companies. By using eco-friendly materials such as anti-slip paper in your palletising, you can bolster your company’s reputation as a sustainably responsible company.

6) Compliance with regulations

Many countries and regions are tightening regulations related to packaging materials and waste management. Using anti-slip paper is a first step to help your company stay ahead of these evolving requirements.

7) Reduced carbon footprint

The environmental benefits of using anti-slip paper extend to your company’s overall carbon footprint. By choosing sustainable packaging materials, you can align your business with global climate action goals.

In a world where every decision counts in the fight against climate change, choosing eco-friendly anti-slip paper over traditional materials like corrugated cardboard is a step in the right direction. With FSC® certification, recyclability, and the potential to reduce paper and stretch foil usage significantly, this solution not only benefits your company’s bottom line but also plays a crucial role in preserving our planet for future generations.
