Earth Day Special: Reviewing Envelopes and Packaging

Apr 21, 2026

Each year on 22nd April, millions worldwide recognise Earth Day — a global initiative that promotes environmental responsibility, climate action, and sustainable living. Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has become one of the world's most influential environmental movements, encouraging individuals and organisations to take meaningful steps towards a greener future.

Why Earth Day matters

Earth Day serves as a timely reminder that our everyday choices — especially around packaging — make a tangible difference. The campaign advocates for:

  • Waste reduction
  • Responsible material use
  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Conservation of natural resources
  • A shift towards renewable and recyclable products
