Eco friendly packaging materials
1.
2. PACKAGING
Packaging is an important concern for
consumers, particularly those who are
interested in converting to
environmentally-friendly buying
behaviors.
Packaging materials should be:
Reusable
Recyclable
3. Characteristics of sustainable
packaging:
Minimizing the amount of packaging
used (weight and volume)
Minimizing the energy used for
production and transportation of goods
Using recycled and recyclable materials
Using biodegradable materials
4. Some of the eco friendly packaging
materials are:
Bio plastics
Recycled papers
Forest wood
Palm leaf
6. BIOPLASTICS
Commonly used in plastic.
Also as envelopes used for bulk
mailing.
This type of plastic starts to
decompose when it is exposed to
daylight
7. Helps to reduce landfill waste.
Good alternative to traditional plastics.
8. Recycled Paper
Recycled paper products contribute to the
diversion of material from landfill
Results in less land being given over to
commercial forestry which can have a
negative impact on biodiversity.
9. Reusable, recyclable and biodegradable
Packaging manufacturing companies
offer an environmentally friendly option
which has been created using a high
proportion of recycled paper.
10. Forest Wood
Wooden products are made from
renewable plant resource.
It can be formed into a variety of
packaging and products.
11. Palm Leaf
Natural, compostable and biodegradable.
They are very stylish, tough and heat
resistant.
Products have no pulp, no starch, just a
washed and pressed leaf.
12. Corn starch
Items made from corn starch are
biodegradable.
Corn starch packaging biodegrades and
has a limited negative impact on the
environment.
13. Green wrap
Eco friendly biodegradable paper
protective packaging material made from
recycled material.
It looks great and cost effective
14. Bamboo-Natural
Bamboo packaging helps reduce
environmental impacts and promote a
healthier planet.
Advantages:
Local
Grows quickly
Strong and durable
Friend of the environment

16. Paper
Light weight
Easy to print
Can be recycled multiple times by using
relatively little energy.
Chemicals used to bleach paper may not
be environmentally friendly
Unbleached, post consumer waste paper
is the best.
17. Glass
Uses the least energy per pound to
recycle.
Chemically inert
Can be recycled almost infinitely without
degrading.
Disadvantage-heavy and breakable.
18. Aluminum
Is easy to recycle
Can be molded to almost any shape.
On the flip side mining for aluminum ore
and aluminum manufacture are highly
energy intensive processes.
19. 5 ways of making packaging
greener:
Reduce packaging
Recycled material is better than
recyclable products
Use Biodegradable materials
Do not mix products that are
incompatible for recycling
Design packages with other functional
attributes
20. Advantages:
Very easily available in almost any given
region being a widespread worldwide
business.
Recyclable in nature
Protective packaging
Overall cost reduction
