What is Sustainable Packaging?
Sustainable packaging refers to the development and use of packaging solutions that have a minimal environmental footprint. This involves selecting materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, or made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, while also reducing overall resource consumption during production and transportation. By prioritizing sustainable practices, companies can significantly reduce their contribution to landfill waste and carbon emissions, all while meeting consumer demand for greener alternatives.
