What is sustainable packaging?

Sustainable packaging is the use of environmentally friendly materials to package, store, distribute, or display products. Sustainable packaging incorporates materials with a low environmental impact throughout their existence. This strategy entails employing environmentally friendly and renewable materials, reducing waste, and lowering carbon emissions connected with packaging manufacturing, transportation, and disposal. The entire weight of packaging was 3.6 million tonnes in 2022. Unsurprisingly, more businesses are switching from plastic-based packaging to eco-friendly, plastic-free alternatives, as 76% of consumers actively seek sustainable items to fulfill their eco-friendly pledges. Flexible packaging was utilised in 29.88 million tonnes globally in 2023. The demand for high-performance, low waste packaging is now much more pressing, given the sharp rise in online shopping and e-commerce delivery.
