PAC-Lite cares for You and Our Planet
Plastic pollution is a major environmental problem. Each year, over 300 million tons of plastic are made, and much of it ends up in landfills, oceans, and natural areas. Unlike biodegradable materials, plastic takes hundreds or even thousands of years to break down. As it breaks apart, it turns into microplastics that pollute soil and water and are eaten by animals. This pollution harms ecosystems, marine life, and food chains.
Switching to biodegradable, BPA-free jars like those from Pac-Lite helps reduce plastic pollution. These jars contain an organic additive that allows them to break down by 50% in just 1.5 years in a biokinetic environment. They’re made from polypropylene, a safer plastic that doesn’t contain BPA—a chemical linked to health problems like hormone issues and cancer. Choosing these jars helps protect both the environment and public health.
