Sustainable packaging is packaging that is better for the environment and earth friendly. You can determine how sustainable your packaging is by looking at the life cycle; how is the packaging created, used, and disposed of at the end of its life. Many sustainable materials optimise the use of renewable or recycled source materials that are healthy, and at the end of its primary use, it can be recycled or reused again for something else so that the life cycle continues.
Over the years consumers have become increasingly aware of sustainability and the need for businesses to be operating without impacting the environment negatively. According to a *two-sided survey, 8 out of 10 customers want more sustainable packaging, with 78% of consumers believing that larger companies should be doing more to promote sustainable packaging. Now is the time to become part of the solution to the environmental crisis, cut down on emission and waste, and contribute to cultivating a better planet.
