Under the condition of COVID-19, the renewable materials are more promising

During the lockdown period at the beginning of the outbreak, many large cities around the world reduced their pollution emissions and pollution levels. However, just like the previous economic recession, the decline in pollution emission levels is expected to be only temporary. According to data from the World Resources Institute, after the 2008 global financial crisis, carbon dioxide emissions from global fossil fuel combustion and cement production increased by 5.9% in 2010, surpassing the 1.4% drop in 2009.

For this reason, environmental scientists urge that when the market begins to recover, we should pay more attention to green environmental protection. In many areas, renewable materials can be used as solutions for a more environmentally friendly and safer future. Let’s share with you Stora Enso’s thoughts the areas where renewable materials can promote more sustainable market growth:

1. Renewable packaging creates an environmentally friendly consumer experience

Under the epidemic, people quickly adapt to new work lifestyles and habits, and many habits may continue even after the epidemic. The epidemic has changed our social and buying behaviors. Since many people's lives are inseparable from home delivery services, e-commerce is developing increasingly vigorously, especially in specific areas such as the food industry.

Consumers are getting used to the new service experience, and this situation is likely to continue. More delivery services mean more packaging. At the same time, consumers are becoming more and more aware of the environmental impact of materials-they need environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging solutions. By providing renewable, plastic-free and recyclable packaging, brands will be able to increase their influence in the minds of environmentally conscious consumers.

2. Personal hygiene and food safety will remain the focus

The outbreak of the new crown epidemic has increased people's awareness of personal hygiene, food safety, packaging and material safety. Because of the epidemic, many of us have developed the habit of washing hands promptly, using hand sanitizer and wipes, and cleaning surfaces. Grocery retailers are becoming more careful about product safety. Many products that were not packaged in the past are now also packaged. People's demand for safe, reliable and environmentally friendly packaging will always exist. Renewable materials are naturally safe, hygienic and sustainable, and can play a good role in protecting products.

3. Low-carbon building materials help green growth

Renewable materials help combat global warming. Once the construction site resumes work after the epidemic, there will be many times to choose wood, a low-carbon material. As an alternative to steel and concrete, wooden buildings and components store carbon during their service life and help reduce carbon emissions during production and transportation. If wood is used instead of fossil-based materials, carbon dioxide emissions in buildings can be reduced by up to 75%.
