Why We Ditched Plastic — The Hard Facts

  • Packaging is the single biggest source of plastic waste (≈40 %).
  • 79 % of all plastics ever made now sit in landfills or the natural environment—this could reach 12 billion t by 2050.
  • Expanded polystyrene (thermocol) can linger for ~500 years, fragmenting into micro‑plastics that harm wildlife and enter our food chain.
  • Every year 11 million t of plastic waste drifts into our oceans; without action, the flow may nearly triple by 2040.
  • Paper enjoys a global recycling rate close to 60 %, giving it multiple life‑cycles instead of centuries in a dump.

How It Protects Your Fan and the Planet

  • Shock absorption without foam — honeycomb paper’s spring structure matches EPS drop‑test performance.
  • Moisture & dust shield — triple‑wall cartons and soy‑ink prints resist humidity while staying toxin‑free.
  • 30 % lighter cartons — lower freight emissions on every shipment.
  • Flat‑pack & recycle — fold everything and put it with regular cardboard or composting.

What You Can Do

  • Compost small filler scraps or shred them for home gardens.
  • Re-use the sturdy box for storage or returns.
  • Share post your unboxing with #OltaoGreenWrap — we plant a tree for every tagged post.

Looking Ahead

By switching every OLTAO order to plastic‑free packaging from July 2025, we project:

  • 22 tons of plastic eliminated in year one (enough to fill ~110,000 one‑litre bottles).
  • 75 t CO₂‑eq avoided via lighter shipping weight and recycled paper inputs (verified by SimaPro LCA).

Small Change Outside, Big Change Inside.
