Environmental Friendly Packaging Solutions

Packaging is an unavoidable part of everyday life. It protects products, preserves them, enhances them, displays important information, acts as a marketing tool and allows for safe transportation. However, the unfortunate truth is that packaging is often viewed as waste. Even worse, packaging often ends up this way too.

Therefore a key consideration of recycled packaging design involves the generation of less waste following the end of its’ useful life, whilst still helping end-consumers to use it and the contained products efficiently. This is why there has been a growing focus on recyclable packaging solutions such as corrugated cardboard.

This guide aims to provide a balanced, holistic argument as to whether eco-friendly or biodegradable packaging would make sense for our business / application. Before beginning to ascertain whether recyclable packaging (and which type) is suitable for our business, it is important to fully understand what is meant by this, as well as a lot of the other commonly used terms such as biodegradable, eco-friendly, reusable and so on.

There are effectively three main types of what are often considered environmentally friendly packaging:

1. Reusable / returnable packaging: This is any form of packaging where paper packing tape is used, that can be cleaned and re-used. An example most people would be aware of is glass milk bottles are simply cleaned and reused. 

2. Recyclable packaging: This is packaging made of materials that can be used again, usually after processing.

3. Biodegradable packaging: This covers any packaging and material will easily break down in the soil or the atmosphere in most cases if sent to landfill.
