What materials are used in sustainable rigid packaging?
Sustainable rigid packaging uses environmentally conscious materials such as bioplastic resins (like PLA, PHA, or sugarcane-based PE), recyclable plastics with recycled content (such as HDPE and PET), as well as glass and aluminum. These materials are chosen for their ability to be recycled, reused, or naturally degraded, helping reduce long-term environmental impact.
How does sustainable packaging reduce environmental impact?
Sustainable packaging is designed to lower the environmental footprint by reducing landfill waste, minimizing the use of fossil fuels, and supporting recyclability and reuse. By switching to renewable or recycled materials, companies can cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a circular economy.
What industries are adopting eco-friendly rigid packaging?
A growing number of industries are making the shift to sustainable rigid packaging, including food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, household goods, and healthcare. These sectors are responding to increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly options and aiming to stay ahead of evolving environmental regulations.
