Paper, Packaging & Printing
The world is moving toward a more eco-friendly future. We’re biking more, we’re limiting our single-use items like water bottles and bags, and packaging has become more minimal and constructed with more eco-friendly materials. It’s something we noticed at the 2020 PPAI Expo—a major shift toward sustainable material like paper and other recycled/recyclable materials, and…
