JYSK, an international home furnishing retailer, has announced a significant reduction in plastic usage by shifting to cardboard bellybands for packaging its ready-made curtains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This initiative is part of the company\u2019s strategic efforts to minimise plastic waste and is expected to result in an annual saving of approximately 78 tonnes (t) of plastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the last couple of years, the retailer has been progressively replacing plastic packaging with cardboard across various product lines, including bed linen, sheets, and pillowcases.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest move to cardboard bellybands for curtains marks another step towards sustainability.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The packaging change has been implemented on all curtain subgroups globally across all JYSK stores, excluding string curtains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JYSK category buyer for window dressing Lene \u00d8sterberg said: \u201cThe primary reason for this change is to reduce our use of plastic, and 78 tonnes is quite a significant reduction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
