Paper-packaging isn't a 'green' alternative to plastic, and as paper-based, throw-away, single-use packaging is on the rise, we systematically lose more irreplaceable forests! Frédérique Ries enable a shift to reuse systems: MAKE REDUCE & REUSE INTO LAW #PPWR #MakeThrowAwayGoAway

As the EU is finalising the #PPWR, the industry is fighting back, trying to save BAU instead of carbon-stocks, freshwater & the climate! @EUCouncil & @EP_Environment we need this law to result in a massive reduction in unnecessary disposable packaging, whatever they are made of!

@GretaThunberg @Frederiqueries We are throwing away far far too much. We are actually throwing away LIFE! #PPWR

@Frederiqueries I thought the paper packaging was supposed to be recycled. Doesn't it say "out of recycled materials"?

@GretaThunberg @Frederiqueries I thought sustainability was about doing projects that are sustainable, like sustainable forest harvesting. If some projects aren’t sustainable, isn’t the goal to make them so, rather than slowly watch plastic drown us all?

@Frederiqueries Perhaps you didn't know, but trees are farmed and grown specifically for the purpose of making paper. They're grown and harvested and replanted just like any other crop.

@Bernardo272 years ago

@Frederiqueries Plastic, for example, takes an average of 400 years to decompose while paper takes 3 to 6 months. It takes 2 weeks or less to cut down a forest, but let's remember that money comes from trees, in other words, paper comes from trees. Or do we stop using money or paper bags!?

@GretaThunberg @Frederiqueries Swedish forests have been sustainably forested for 700 years. What is wrong with that again? If they can do it, why can’t others? What do you propose be done instead, because you are slowing transition from plastic to paper, which net does far more harm?

California’s new packaging law recently went into effect and farmers are saying they won’t be able to adapt and food will end up being wasted or spoiling The law is SB 54, ‘The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act’ “Groceries in California are about to get more expensive, and in some cases, your favorite fresh produce may not be there at all. — For fresh produce, packaging isn't optional. Plastic helps keep food safe, fresh, and from going to waste — Look, we all want more sustainable packaging, but for everyday items like berries, bagged salads, ready-to-eat produce, there aren't real scalable alternatives yet. And it could take 5 to 10 years to get there, or longer” “So when mandates move faster than technology, prices go up, shelf life drops, and some products just won't pencil out” Here’s what the new law mandates, SB 54 Requires by 2032: - 25% reduction in single-use plastic packaging and food service ware by weight - 100% of single-use packaging and plastic food service ware must be recyclable or compostable. - 65% recycling rate for the remaining single-use plastic packaging Producers, brands, manufacturers must join a Producer Responsibility Organization and pay fees. This is including $500 million per year to a state fund for pollution mitigation and cleanup, totaling $5 billion over 10 years), and fund collection and recycling infrastructure

THE PLASTIC WE THROW AWAY DOESN'T DISAPPEAR—it ends up in our RIVERS, OCEANS, AND THE FOOD WE EAT. Watching a woman remove PLASTIC from a fish is a heartbreaking reminder that PLASTIC POLLUTION IS DESTROYING MARINE LIFE and putting HUMAN HEALTH at risk. EVERY CARELESSLY DISCARDED PLASTIC BOTTLE, BAG, OR WRAPPER HAS CONSEQUENCES. REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE. DISPOSE OF WASTE RESPONSIBLY. PROTECT OUR WATERS. SAVE OUR MARINE LIFE. SECURE OUR FUTURE. 🌍 THE OCEAN IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND. 🐟 WHAT HURTS MARINE LIFE EVENTUALLY HURTS US. ♻️ EVERY ACTION COUNTS.

COULD A BUG-INSPIRED BIOPLASTIC END OUR PLASTIC ADDICTION… Meet Shri—a silk-and-shrimp-shell superhero in the war on plastic. Engineered by Harvard researchers, this biodegradable plastic alternative mimics insect armor, yet boasts the strength of aluminum at half the weight. Its ingredients? Silk fibroin and chitosan—waste from silkworms and shrimp shells. Antifungal, antibacterial, compostable, and even edible for plants—Shri isn’t just green, it’s genius. Use it, then toss it into your garden as fertilizer. From surgical implants to food packaging, Shri may soon replace plastic in ways we once thought impossible. Source: Interesting Engineering

🚨🇫🇷 THIS STARTUP MAKES PAPER FROM FALLEN LEAVES... NOT TREES Releaf Paper figured out how to make real packaging from dead leaves on the ground - and yes, it’s way greener than tree pulp. Their tech was born from a Ukrainian teen’s science project and now powers a Paris-area plant that recycles urban leaf waste into bags, boxes, and even bioplastics. Their process uses just 0.066 kg of CO₂ per kg (that’s 70% less than normal paper), almost no water, and all the leaves come from within 20 km. Big brands like L’Oréal and Samsung called them first. Literally. One exec chased them for weeks like a maple leaf in the wind. They’re planning five more factories across Europe, then heading to the U.S., Canada, and Japan - with plans to turn everything from flower stems to pineapple leaves into packaging.

Today, Sun & Swell offers a full line of plant-based snacks packaged in 100% compostable packaging. Kate and Bryan have built a brand that's plastic-free from the ground up. To date, Sun & Swell prevented over 1 million single-use plastic bags from entering our environment! Sun & Swell is proving that business growth and sustainability can go hand in hand. They’re not just transforming snack time; they’re building a movement toward a plastic-free future. Snacks that do good—one bite, one bag at a time:

The UP government picked one product from every district in the state. Ballia got the sattu laddoo, they rebranded it as Sattu Pops, fixed the packaging, and pushed it to international shelves. What sounds like a boring policy document on paper turned into 700 women becoming financially independent. Governance is just problem solving at scale and this one actually scaled

.bubble boi's new thesis for Intel is all about advanced packaging, which he says is the new Moore's Law: "Up until this point, Intel's thesis was really a fab turnaround." "Now, I've completely changed my logic. It's about advanced packaging. Advanced packaging to me is the new Moore's Law." "You've kind of already seen this with Vera Rubin, where they can't actually do four dies on one package. They had to change that at the last second." "If you look out to Feynman, the packaging of silicon is a huge bottleneck." "It already was a bottleneck. In 2025, Nvidia was 60% of TSMC's advanced packaging. So everyone else was out there to fend for themselves." "So any kind of advanced packaging that comes to market, that allows people to scale compute way more than I think just shrinking a node does. I mean, shrinking a node's great, but the way Nvidia's timeline — and I think all the hyperscalers as well — [has gone], they want more HBM, they want more radical-sized dies, and they all want it in one package." "That's really where things are headed towards, and I think the market's not pricing that in. I think this is a real sea change to the semi industry."

Instead of using toilet paper, would you share one brush for all to use and flush the toilet once a week to save money? • The "Xylospongium": A family of six shares a single sponge on a stick (a historical xylospongium) instead of toilet paper. After use, the sponge is rinsed and stored in a bucket of vinegar. • Weekly Flushing: The family flushes the toilet once a week on "Flushing Friday." • The "Poop Knife": They use a cutting tool to break down solid waste so it will flush without clogging the pipes, since the toilet is not flushed for days and no toilet paper is used.
