Eco Friendly Packaging to Reduce Carbon Footprints

Pollution is a significant concern that needs no emphasis, and any business that comes out strongly with ways of reducing carbon footprint is welcome.

Of the many ways for you to reduce carbon footprint, choosing eco-friendly packaging is one of the easiest ways to make a big impact.

Most of the materials used in packaging are plastic, cardboard, or paper. A study carried out by the Center for international environmental law (CIEL) shows that over 3.5kgs of carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere in every manufactured kilogram of plastic. That adds to the problem of its slow degradation.

How to choose the ECO friendly packaing way to reduce Carbon Footprints

For instance, using corrugated boxes which are made from corrugated paperboard, which is easily recycled. However, since corrugated boxes are relatively sturdy, they can often be used multiple times. Once you have gotten all of your use out of the boxes, they can be sent back to the paper mill who will integrate the used material back into their manufacturing process and make new boxes.

Another eco-friendly packaging option is sustaniable packaging bags. Recyclable and compostable bags.

Recyclable bags can be sent to the appropriate facilities for processing to be subsequently recycled into new raw material. Examples include some types of plastic.

Biodegradable/compostable bags are made of organic materials, these packaging materials degrade within a moderate timespan when exposed to environmental conditions.

There are many gains in choosing packaging procedures that reduce packaging materials' carbon footprint. Customers will respect you and would want to be associated with you. Besides, sustainability enhances your production process, and you'll enjoy an increased bottom line in the long term.
