The truth of sustainable packaging

Do anyone know what is Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging is using Renewable, Reusable, and Recyclable material and processes to minimize environmental impact.

By using sustainable packaging can be a great way to minimize the non-biodegradable plastic from the environment. The great part about it is that the source of raw material also comes from sustainable way.

For sustaniable packaging bags, normally there are post-consumer Recycled (PCR) packaging, recyclable packaing and compostable packaing.

Post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging is manufactured with film that is made from recycled materials. In general, PCR packaging cannot be recycled again since it’s already made from recycled materials. This allows brands to fulfill their sustainability goals, without relying on the consumer to recycle or compost the package after use.

Recyclable packaing is manufactured with film that is made from new material. It is recyclable when the materials can be processed and used again.  Once the package enters the recycling stream, it is broken down into raw materials and sold to manufacturers.

Compostable packaging is manufactured with film that is made from corn starch, plant- based material. It can breaks down completely in a compost site and leaves no toxic residue. In order for a plastic to be called compostable, it must biodegrade, or break down into carbon dioxide, water, or biomass at the same rate as paper.

Flexible sustainable packaging is widely used in a variety of food and non-food industries, including coffee, tea, snacks, seeds, nutritional products, body care products, cosmetics, apparel, and more.
