In recognition of the long-lasting friendship between Ethiopia and Pakistan, H.E. Jemal Baker planted a tree at the facility. The planting of the tree is not only a symbol of our commitment to sustainability, but it also reflects Ethiopia’s dedication to building a greener future.

As responsible corporate citizens, we are committed to promoting sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship. We are honored by H.E. Jemal Baker’s gesture and grateful for the opportunity to host him at our plant.

We extend our thanks to H.E. Jemal Baker for his visit, and we look forward to the opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Ethiopia and build a brighter future for all.

Situated in the Somali Peninsula also known as the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is one of the oldest independent countries in the region. It is also the second most populated country in Africa with a population of around 120 million people. It is host to a variety of vibrant cultures and spectacular natural beauty. 

Being a developing country coupled with a post-pandemic crisis, Ethiopia is also facing strong challenges like poverty, the need for development, lack of resources, and environmental degradation. However, it is weathering the storm with utmost persistence. With the peace treaty established with TPLF in the year 2022, the country is steadily making progress as a strong nation. 

The Circular Economy is an emergent concept coined by Genevieve Reday and Walter Stahel in 1976 in a report by the name of ‘The Potential for Substituting Manpower for Energy” to the European Commission.  It was drawn in the shape of loops to interconnect the idea of an economic model that retained materials in the product cycle for as long as possible. This concept has now gained tremendous momentum from around the world, making it a more practical alternative for linear development. 

Linear development is a concept that is based on the idea of a take-use-dispose model. This model has been the root cause of the environmental degradation of our planet for decades. Ethiopia like other responsible countries is incorporating the circular economic approach in its economic activities.  

It has in particular taken concrete steps to encourage the usage of sustainable packaging in recent years. In 2019, the Ethiopian government banned the usage of single-use plastics- which still is nearly half of the plastic waste generated globally. The ban comprises of the manufacture, import, and supply of single-use plastic products like luggage, straws, and cutlery.

The Private sector is also playing an active and dominant role in promoting sustainable packaging in Ethiopia. Different innovative alternative solutions are being practiced across different companies. For instance, different packaging companies have introduced biodegradable packaging, made from botanical materials. These materials are renewable with minimal to no negative environmental impacts. 

Moreover, they are investing in new innovative technologies that are esthetic, contain high value, and promote resource conservation. One such technology is 3D printing. 3D printing is largely custom-made, by default designed to make packaging as per need, therefore, helping with resource conservation and waste minimization. 

The general consumer trend in Ethiopia is also significantly inclined toward using sustainable practices. For instance, jute bags are a common sight there for shopping and general carrying of goods. Also, proper systems are in place to reuse materials like glass bottles. They are collected and made available for consumption in an organized way, which is a perfect example of how Ethiopian consumers and producers have incorporated product circularity into their daily lives. 

The demand for green products and packaging has also increased over the years, acting as an external pressure for businesses to incorporate sustainable practices in manufacturing and operations. Balda, A., & Singh, R. In their study ‘Driving Forces towards the Adoption of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Industries in Ethiopia’ highlighted that higher consumer demand for greener products is acting as a significant driver for companies in Ethiopia to adopt sustainable supply chain practices. 

Ethiopia holds immense potential to immerge as a successful circular economy model. With an existing consumer and investor demand for greener products and increased investment in green practices, Ethiopia is set to become an example that other countries can follow for implementing sustainable development goals in their regions.

One of the main reasons for the importance of sustainability in packaging is the impact it has on the environment. Traditional packaging materials, such as plastic and styrofoam, can take hundreds of years to degrade and can harm wildlife and ecosystems. In contrast, sustainable packaging materials, such as corrugated boxes and bioplastics, can be easily recycled or composted and have a much lower environmental impact.

According to a report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world produces over 300 million tons of plastic annually, with roughly 8 million of that ending up in our oceans. Plastic pollution is a major environmental concern and affects not only marine life but also terrestrial animals, and even human health. As a brand, it is important to understand the impact of your packaging on the environment and take steps to reduce that impact.

Another reason for the importance of sustainability in packaging is the impact it can have on a brand’s reputation. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of their purchases and are looking for brands that align with their values. By using sustainable packaging, brands can demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility and attract conscious consumers.

According to a survey by Nielsen, 66% of global consumers are willing to pay more for products and services that come from companies that are committed to positive social and environmental impact. As a business, you can tap into this market by investing in sustainable packaging.

Sustainability in packaging can also be beneficial for a brand’s bottom line. Using sustainable packaging materials can help reduce costs associated with packaging materials and disposal. Additionally, by appealing to environmentally conscious consumers, brands can increase sales and gain a competitive advantage.

Corrugated boxes, for instance, are a great sustainable packaging option that can provide protection and cost-saving benefits. Corrugated boxes are made from renewable resources and are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. They are also lightweight and durable, making them an ideal packaging solution for businesses. Furthermore, corrugated boxes can be designed to be reusable, which can further reduce packaging waste and costs.

In conclusion, sustainability in packaging is not only important for the environment but also for the reputation and bottom line of a brand. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, brands that prioritize sustainability in packaging will be at an advantage. Corrugated boxes are a great sustainable packaging option that can provide protection and cost-saving benefits. Brands that invest in sustainable packaging will be able to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and reduce their environmental impact. By taking action now, you can not only make a positive impact on the environment but also create a competitive advantage for your business.

Pulp and paper is the 3rd largest industrial polluter of air, water, and soil and when it rots, it emits methane gas which is 25 times more toxic than CO2. Moreover, 42% of all global wood harvest is used to make paper i.e. paper production is one of the main causes of deforestation. Worse of all, demand for paper is expected to double before 2030.

However, the solution is simple and has been available for decades: recycling. Recycling 1 tonne of paper saves around 1400 liters of oil, 26,500 liters of water and 17 trees as well as combating pollution and climate change caused by deforestation. In an effort to highlight this solution and the importance RPL places on it, we have chosen this simple yet effective image to represent us this year.

As the climate crisis deepens, we must all, as consumers, producers and individuals, play our part. As companies set ambitious goals to use more recycled content in their packaging, there is more need than ever for partnerships and investments. Together, we must develop the infrastructure and processes that allow us to recover high-quality materials that can be used for recycled packaging, since Pakistan in particular lags behind the world.

In the linear economy, raw natural resources are taken, transformed into products and disposed off. On the other hand, a circular economy model aims to close the gap between the production and the natural ecosystems’ cycles, ultimately eliminating ‘waste’. Companies cannot create a circular economy on their own, and our stakeholders have an important role to play.

Conscious of our contribution to society and the environment, we seek to continually expand our horizons while keeping sustainability and diversity at the heart of our efforts. We hope that along with our stakeholders, we can participate in this program in order to re-use, reduce and recycle, ultimately playing our part in fighting against climate change.

Our strategy to make this a reality is closed-loop recycling model: a process where waste is collected, recycled and then used again to make the same product it came from. To stretch the use of recovered paper as a raw material in papermaking, it is imperative that paper is source segregated and collected from reliable sources. This means that every source plays a crucial part in the paper recycling and paper making process’s success and to achieve high recovery percentages of paper.

Through our collaboration, we hope that the used corrugated boxes we collect from supply chains, will be recycled and turned into new corrugated boxes in our packaging division, creating a real closed-loop solution for our customers. As one of the leading packaging companies in Pakistan, with over 20 years of experience in recycling and waste management, we will try our best to find a way to make 100% of the resources you send us into something useful once more. Thus, reducing waste sent to landfill and reducing the company’s impact on the environment.
