06 Sep 2019 --- In a bid to slash packaging waste generated by the rise of e-commerce in the retail market, fiber-based packaging materials provider BillerudKorsnäs has introduced a paper specially designed for e-commerce bags. Coined Xpression E-Com, it provides a superior and direct substitute for single-use plastic mailing bags and other less efficient solutions. E-commerce is likely to remain the fastest growing segment of retail. This makes for a fantastic opportunity for BillerudKorsnäs to disrupt a market which has been working solely with plastic mailing bags and corrugated boxes for so many years, notes the company. It will contine to explore other packaging oppurtunities within the space to meet unmet consumer needs, Tom Hallam, Business Development Manager at BillerudKorsnäs, tells PackagingInsights.
