Green Packaging a Sustainable and Cost-Effective Alternative to Single Use Packaging
Green Packaging |
Green packaging, or sustainable packaging, uses
materials and/or manufacturing techniques to diminish energy use and reduce the
harmful impacts of packaging on the environment. It refers to the sourcing,
development, and use of packaging solutions that have minimal environmental
impact and footprint. Simply put, packaging is eco-friendly and doesn't
contribute to the further depletion of natural resources. Reusable plastic can
often be the most sustainable option. This in turn help minimize damage, reduce
raw material use, prolong lifespan, and even less carbon emissions through
efficient transit. Green marketing is developing and selling environmentally
friendly goods or services.It helps improve credibility, enter a new audience
segment, and stand out among competitors as more and more people become
environmentally conscious.

Industry Forecast till 2025.
Green packaging is the development and use of
packaging which results in improved sustainability. Sustainable packaging, also
known as packaging, improves storage space. The packaging is free of allergens
and toxins and does not contain harmful plastics. It reduces the use of
resources significantly and positively impacts brand image and increase sales.
Green packing solutions often include biodegradable
and recyclable materials in preference to materials like plastic and Styrofoam.
Some of the common biodegradable materials are gelatin, starch, chitosan,
cellulose, & polylactic acid. The tensile strength, degradability,
permeability, tear resistance, and solubility are some of the properties
defining the selection and utilization of packaging materials. Cellulose
packaging material is biodegradable and compostable, which makes it a sustainable
alternative to plastic. Several food brands, in particular, prefer cellulose
packaging because of its moisture-resistant properties.
Since packaging materials are made from recycled
materials instead of chemicals and/or plastics, they are better for the
environment. Since the packaging is eco-friendly, it reduces the amount of
wasted materials and consumption of resources. Thus, there is an increasing
demand for packaging worldwide. Governments have responded to concerns
regarding packaging waste, especially single-use packaging waste, and
implementing regulations to both minimize environmental waste and improve
waste-management processes.
