July 3rd marks Plastic Bag Free Day, a symbolic event that highlights the urgent need to reduce our use of single-use plastic.
At Comatec, this day is more than just a reminder—it's an opportunity to take meaningful action.
By choosing sustainable alternatives and raising awareness around us, we contribute to a vital shift toward a more environmentally responsible consumption model.
Why take part in Plastic-Free Day ?
Single-use plastic represents a major threat to our planet.
Despite evolving regulations (AGEC law, European directives), its use remains widespread—particularly in the events, catering, and takeaway sectors.
There are many compelling reasons to reduce or replace plastic:
- Preserve natural resources by choosing renewable or recycled materials
- Meet consumer expectations: according to a recent study, 74% of customers prefer alternatives to plastic
- Limit plastic pollution, including microplastics, which are now pervasive in aquatic ecosystems
- Choose products with a lower environmental impact throughout their life cycle, as evaluated by our PlanetScore tool
Reducing plastic use also enhances your brand image and positions your business within a strong and visible CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach.
Our alternatives to plastic
Bio-based materials: sugarcane bagasse, cellulose pulp, bamboo, kraft cardboard...
Reusable solutions: rigid containers suitable for deposit schemes and washing
Recyclable or compostable packaging: designed for easy end-of-life processing
Elegant, refined designs that enhance your culinary creations while reducing their carbon footprint
Also consider reuse, a practical alternative to single-use plastic, supported by the AGEC law and increasingly adopted in major events and takeaway services.
Our approach is based on a dual commitment: environmental sustainability and professional excellence.
