By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. This is bad. Instead of plastic packaging, we use a rip and splash-proof mailer bag made out of paper. Big orders come in cardboard boxes, with paper-based tape.
<\/p>
As well as designing out plastic, we are attempting to design out waste. The two things are interconnected as we've found that we can use some of our waste material in our packaging.
<\/p>
You can even save your packaging and re-purpose it! The funky design makes it ideal for wrapping paper, colouring projects, we've even seen Christmas crackers made from it!<\/p>","urlTitle":"plastic-free-packaging","url":"\/blog\/plastic-free-packaging\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/plastic-free-packaging\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/lifestyle-apeksdiving.com\/blog\/plastic-free-packaging\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1581942489,"updatedAt":1581946935,"publishedAt":1581946935,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":56851,"name":"Apeks Lifestyle Store"},"tags":[{"id":425,"code":"environment","name":"Environment","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/environment\/"},{"id":428,"code":"packaging","name":"Packaging","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/packaging\/"}],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a8763ad3019.79922877.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a8763ad3019.79922877.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a8763ad3019.79922877.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":null,"metaDescription":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":2502,"title":"Zero Waste To Landfill","url":"\/blog\/zero-waste-to-landfill\/","urlTitle":"zero-waste-to-landfill","division":56851,"description":"Apeks Diving has reached a new industry-leading achievement of sending zero non-hazardous waste to landfill from its Blackburn based headquarters, including waste from the factory, warehouse and offices. 100% of general waste from the business is now turned into biofuel, which goes on to provide fue","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a864b77e9b0.48614870.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a864b77e9b0.48614870.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":2503,"title":"Solar Power","url":"\/blog\/apeks-takes-the-plunge-with-new-solar-installation\/","urlTitle":"apeks-takes-the-plunge-with-new-solar-installation","division":56851,"description":"At our UK regulator manufacturing facility, we are continuing with our switch to green by the installation of 400 solar panels on the roof of our purpose built factory.\u00a0","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a901bb4b000.13720890.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5e4a901bb4b000.13720890.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":2703,"title":"Renewable Energy","url":"\/blog\/renewable-energy\/","urlTitle":"renewable-energy","division":56851,"description":"Throughout our supply chain, renewable energy is used.
