Plastic vs Paper Packaging: The Pros and Cons

Plastics came into existence by accident in 1907, but it grew popular around the 1950s when high-density polyethylene was created. Plastics are made from fossil fuels which is clearly a non-renewable source. It is estimated that 4% of the world’s oil production is used as feedstock to make plastics, so this means plastic is often viewed as poor material in terms of renewability and sustainability.

However, it's not all doom and gloom with plastic. In recent times various reports from credible s

The top colours for your office to increase productivity

The debate surrounding whether colours can affect our mood, productivity and psychological wellbeing has been argued throughout history. One of the first studies to look into the links between colour and mood was in 1979 by Schauss. It was a study on American prisons that discovered at the time that by painting the walls pink, aggressive behaviours of inmates were reduced. While offices are not to be confused with prisons, this study does show how much of an impact colour can have. Colour affect
