Snopake has once again lead the way and introduced its range of products made from 100% post-consumer certified recycled materials to meet the ever-increasing demand for sustainable solutions for the office supplies industry.
Snopake pioneered Polypropylene (PP) filing in the UK as an alternative to manilla folders and files. This new material proved to be more durable, water resistant and cost effective as well as adding vibrant colour to the dull office space.
Amidst growing concerns about the environmental impact of plastics, especially those categorised as ‘single use’, the office products sector began looking at bio-degradable PP as an alternative material. However, more recent research discovered that the additives used to produce biodegradable plastics are in fact harmful.
Tests have shown that whilst the plastic does break down in specific atmospheric conditions, the particles are still of a size as to cause harm to microbials and small organisms and could ultimately end up in the human food chain. As a result, the EU Directive 2019/0904 effectively banned the use of biodegradable plastics, stating that this plastic does not properly biodegrade, contributes to microplastic pollution and negatively affects the recycling of conventional plastics.
In today’s world, where environmental consciousness influences every aspect of our lives, choosing responsible, sustainable solutions has become a necessity rather than a choice.
Recognizing this growing resonance, Snopake has unveiled its most significant initiative in recent years – Snopake ReBorn – a holistic filing range in an array of soft pastel hues.
Snopake ReBorn stands as a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to responsible resource use. Crafted entirely from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and certified by The Textile Exchange to its Global Recycled Standard, these products embody a crucial step towards a circular economy. Instead of perpetuating the narrative of plastic waste, Snopake ReBorn breathes new life into existing materials, minimizing the environmental footprint associated with virgin plastic production. This mindful approach not only reduces reliance on unsustainable resource extraction but also fosters a closed-loop system – a crucial step towards a more responsible future.
Snopake ReBorn is a major milestone for the brand! Snopake’s commitment to innovation and building a greener future does not stop there. Snopake have now taken the bold initiative to manufacture its existing popular portfolio of products from 100% post-consumer recycled materials.
The inherent durability of these products ensures a long and dependable lifespan. Their water-resistant and wipe-clean properties further enhance their longevity, allowing for repeated use and significantly reducing waste generation.
