Sustainable Packaging Myths vs. Facts
Myth: Plastic is bad for the environment.
Fact: Plastic does take longer for a natural process to erase, but it can be a more sustainable material.
Myth: To be “sustainable” and use plastic you must recycle.
Fact: Recycling is just one piece. The two biggest areas of sustainability are energy and transportation.
Myth: Sustainability and “green” are synonymous terms.
Fact: Sustainability and “green” do overlap. However, “Green” usually refers to using the natural over the artificial. Sustainable packaging relies more on technology.
Myth: Sustainability is expensive.
Fact: There are short-term costs, but long-term gains.
Myth: Once you understand the concept, operating sustainably is easy.
Fact: Often what was once thought to be a sustainable solution turns out to be problematic. Using corn to produce ethanol. Seems sustainable, but the process of farming, harvesting, and converting to ethanol is extremely energy-intensive.
