Picture this: Over three billion trees, many from the world’s vital forests, are destroyed annually for paper packaging. It’s hard to imagine, right?

For World Nature Conservation Day, watch our latest video to put it into perspective.

Today, one of the most pervasive myths is that logging forests for paper packaging is the answer to plastic pollution. But this approach swaps one environmental disaster for another.

In the face of climate and biodiversity crises, safeguarding forest ecosystems is imperative.

The story of Pack4Good exemplifies Canopy’s unwavering commitment to transforming the packaging industry’s unsustainable take-make-waste supply chains and scaling low-carbon, low-impact alternatives often derived from things we waste or burn. Through collaborations, innovative tools, consumer awareness campaigns, and a focus on the food, fashion, and beauty industries, Pack4Good has made remarkable strides in reducing environmental impact and saving forests.

By recognizing the urgency of protecting forests and embracing innovative solutions, we are building a global community dedicated to the preservation of the planet. Thanks to our Pack4Good partners, we can write a brighter future for all‌ — ‌one where sustainability is the norm and forests thrive, ensuring a healthier planet for all of us for generations to come.  

Now is the time to strengthen commitments, scale solutions, and enshrine protection. Learn how you can help.
