Why sustainability is now becoming economically viable
Sustainability has long been a topic for visionaries. Today, it determines competitiveness. With stricter EU regulations, critical consumers, and rising material costs, the focus is shifting: ecology and economy are no longer mutually exclusive; they are interdependent. Those who invest early will save money later and gain market share, trust, and future security.
Why sustainability is now becoming economically viable
Sustainability has long been a nice-to-have. An image factor. A green label that you could afford—or not. That is changing rapidly. Today, sustainability is not just a moral argument, but a real economic advantage. Companies that invest early secure market share, stability, and future viability. Those who wait will pay – through regulations, supply chain risks, and lost customers.
1. EU regulations: Sustainability is becoming mandatory, not optional
With new legislation – from packaging directives to extended producer responsibility – the EU is continuously tightening the rules. Packaging must be recyclable, use less material, and be reusable. Companies are faced with a decision: transform proactively or retrofit later at great expense. Sustainability is thus becoming a compliance issue – and an opportunity for those who lead the way and take innovation seriously.
2. Customers expect responsibility
People are buying more consciously. They compare. They question. In e-commerce in particular, there is growing pressure to reduce packaging waste and offer transparent solutions. Brands that present themselves as credibly sustainable gain trust – and customers who stay. Sustainability is becoming a brand promise that influences purchasing decisions.
3. Material costs are rising - efficiency saves money
Fossil raw materials are becoming more expensive and supply chains more volatile. Those who still rely heavily on petroleum-based plastics today are increasingly dependent on price fluctuations and geopolitical risks. Recyclable materials such as paper score twice here: they are recyclable, regionally available, and scalable. Efficient material systems reduce costs in the long term – especially when upcycling takes place instead of new production.
Sustainability is not a risk. It is a business case.
SUPASO shows how innovation and economic efficiency can be combined. Paper instead of plastic is not only an ecological step, but also a strategic decision that makes companies more resilient. Sustainable materials, circular processes, and smart logistics create a model that makes economic sense—today and in the future.
In short, sustainability becomes economical because inaction becomes more expensive.
