Green packaging becomes the mainstream trend! The concept of environmental protection makes life better
Green packaging becomes the mainstream trend! The concept of environmental protection makes life better.
Over the years, both consumers and manufacturers have made incredible strides in recycling, moving to packaging that can be collected and reshaped into new packaging.
More and more consumers are also consciously choosing to buy in bulk and use reusable packaging and appliances whenever possible, which helps to reduce the amount of waste generated. Examples include kraft paper packaging, molded pulp, foam and recycled plastics.
Many companies go to great lengths to encourage customers to return items that can be recycled (or upcycled). For example, black plastic is a difficult product to recycle, and because municipal recycling facilities use optical scanners to identify all types of plastic, these facilities cannot scan black plastic because they do not reflect light.
Recognizing this, companies and local supermarkets are encouraging consumers to return their black plastic and offering incentives for compliance.
Skincare company Lush, for example, encourages customers to return their iconic black POTS for recycling, with five returned POTS winning a free fresh face mask.
This allows plastic to be properly recycled or upgraded, rather than crowding landfills.Bioplastics sound futuristic, but they are already the future of retail packaging.
Eat the package after eating the food? Currently, edible packaging is on the rise and it is one of the most environmentally friendly retail packaging solutions available today.
Edible straws, wrappers, films and other packaging supplies have entered the market and are expected to become the new normal. For example, some brands are selling sandwich wrappers made from seaweed. So now you can not only eat the cake, but also the wrapping paper.
Mexican company E6PR makes six-piece beer rings that are actually made from wheat and barley residues from the beer brewing process, which can not only break down, but also become a tasty treat for animals.
Bioplastics refer to plastics produced under the action of microorganisms based on natural substances such as starch, which are renewable and therefore very environmentally friendly.
It is not only friendly to the environment, but also has good adaptability to the body, which is expected to be used in the production of medical products such as postoperative sutures that can be absorbed by the body.
Bioplastics are developed from pure plants. Plants contain a lot of starch and protein, which is also the main source of acrylic acid and polylactic acid in bioplastics, acrylic acid extracted from plants, polylactic acid and other biodegradable plastic materials through various processes, to a large extent to avoid pollution and damage to the environment, which is the traditional plastic incomparable advantages.
