In the wave of global urbanization and consumption upgrading, human-generated municipal solid waste has reached 2.42 billion tons per year, which has become an unsustainable burden on the planet.
2022 December, the 77th session of the United Nations will designate 30th March every year as the International Day of Zero Waste, reminding everyone to pay attention to the resource crisis, and reflecting the importance of the green transformation of the global supply chain.
As a leader in digital printing media, A-SUB has been upholding the guiding business philosophy of sustainable development since its establishment, and was awarded the FSC certification in 2019. A-SUB integrates environmental protection concepts throughout the entire FSC-certified sublimation paper product system, providing wholesalers with a full range of reliable and sustainable solutions to help your business accurately grasp market opportunities in the wave of global green transformation.
International Zero Waste Day: Business Opportunities in Green Transformation
According to the United Nations, the global textile industry produces 92 million tons of waste annually, which is equivalent to one truckload of clothing being burned or landfilled every second.
Against this backdrop, the 3R principle of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” promoted by Zero Waste Day may have the potential to reshape production patterns. For manufacturers, this shift is both socially responsible and could lead to a reshuffling of the industry.
A 2023 Bain & Company report highlights significant consumer willingness to pay premiums for eco-friendly products. For instance, global consumers pay an average 12% more, while U.S. buyers are willing to pay up to 28%. In rapidly growing markets like India, Indonesia, Brazil, and China, environmentally conscious consumers show a 15-20% premium preference.
A-SUB has keenly captured this trend and provides wholesalers with a key tool to enter the green market through its FSC-certified sublimation paper technology. This solution addresses the high-pollution, high-energy consumption challenges of traditional printing processes, providing clean alternatives for personalized production in clothing and home decoration.
