Making the right choice for sustainable advertising
In today’s eco-conscious world, picking the right materials for point-of-sale (POS) advertising is crucial. Brands and ad agencies are now more focused on reducing their environmental footprint, making the choice between PVC-free and fully plastic-free materials an important discussion.
Why avoid PVC in the first place?
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is popular due to its versatility and low cost. However, it comes with significant environmental and health drawbacks. PVC contains chlorine, which releases harmful dioxins during production and combustion. These dioxins are carcinogenic and pose serious health risks. Additionally, PVC includes toxic additives like phthalates, lead, and cadmium, which can leach out, causing hormonal disruptions and cancer risks. Recycling PVC is also problematic because of its high chlorine content, which can contaminate recycling streams.
Despite its durability and cost-effectiveness, PVC’s potential for contamination and health hazards makes it a less attractive option for brands committed to sustainability.
The benefits of choosing PVC-free
Choosing PVC-free materials can significantly reduce the environmental impact of your advertising campaigns. These materials avoid the harmful effects associated with PVC and offer a safer, more sustainable choice. Moreover, PVC-free options are easier to recycle, reducing the overall environmental footprint of your advertising efforts. At Stafix, our commitment to eco-friendliness is a core value, and all our products are completely PVC-free.
Going fully plastic-free
While PVC-free materials offer significant benefits, going fully plastic-free provides the ultimate in sustainability. Eliminating plastic entirely helps reduce global plastic waste and our reliance on fossil fuels altogether.
Stafix has been working hard to develop a fully plastic-free self-adhesive solution that is just as user-friendly as our other options but also made from renewable resources, further enhancing environmental benefits. Our answer is the all-new PAPTIC, designed for brands that want to build stronger relationships with eco-conscious consumers and contribute to a healthier planet.
PAPTIC is the future in plastic-free advertising
Wood fibers only
PAPTIC is our cutting-edge solution for sustainable POS marketing. Made from renewable wood fibers, PAPTIC is completely devoid of plastic, ensuring full recyclability and significantly reducing environmental impact.
Durable and easy to apply
PAPTIC combines a wood fiber-based face-stock with a clay-coated paper backer and a bubble-free, removable adhesive. This unique composition makes it durable yet easy to apply and remove, leaving surfaces clean and undamaged.
Enhanced user experience
The ultimate choice
Choosing between PVC-free and fully plastic-free for your POS advertising depends on your specific needs and sustainability goals. While our PVC-free materials will significantly reduce harmful environmental impacts, the fully plastic-free option, PAPTIC, offers even greater benefits in terms of health, safety, and overall environmental responsibility.
By embracing any of Stafix’s materials, you’ll contribute to a greener future and bolster your brand’s eco-friendly reputation. Making informed choices in POS advertising not only benefits the environment but also resonates with today’s eco-conscious consumers, fostering trust and loyalty based on genuine commitment to sustainability.
