Plastic sucks.

That’s not a hot take in 2023, and brands across all industries and sizes have, at the very least, acknowledged that single-use plastic is harmful to the environment and even our own bodies. Many have reduced their use of plastic packaging, opting for alternative substrates like paper, glass, and metal.

Materials made from wood fibers, like cardboard and paper, also have plenty going for them compared to plastic—paper is easily recyclable and made from renewable materials.
