Malaysia-based company Teo Seng Paper Products stamped a mark in the local paper industry when it recently became the first company in the country to obtain PEFC chain of custody certification for its eco-friendly egg trays. The PEFC certificate enables Teo Seng Paper Products to use the PEFC label on its egg trays as a mark of its compliance to the sustainability requirements of the PEFC Chain of Custody standard. Edan Na, product development executive at Teo Seng Paper Products said the company had been producing sturdy egg trays made of recycled newspapers and corrugated cartons since 1995, in line with its vision to produce sustainable products for the industry. At present, the company uses 400 tonnes of recycled paper to produce 6.3 million units of egg trays every month, mainly for local consumption.
The research revealed that over half of the 2,289 people surveyed in the nationwide poll, (some 57%) said they preferred their grocery and food packaging in paper-based material, whilst some 31% expressed no preference and just 8% preferred plastic containers.
The consumers surveyed were also asked how likely they were to purchase a product from a retailer using paper-based containers as opposed to plastic containers. Some 46% said they were more likely to purchase an item if the packaging was paper-based, compared to 47% who said it would make no difference.
