Eco-friendly Packaging

With the global demand for recyclable packaging and the growing eco-conscious consumer market, there is little surprise why paper-based packaging is growing in popularity over recent years.

By now, we’re all aware of how important it is to reduce our impact on the environment. Not just in our personal day-to-day lives, but at a wider scale with the need for sustainable business decisions too. .

As retail giants, restaurants, and entrepreneurs continue to make things easier for people looking to indulge in a plant-based diet, more and more will consider making the switch.

There are little products out there that do not come in some sort of protective packaging case. The increase in consumption and rise in products means that packaging is being used more excessively in a world where resources are limited.

Modern day food production, along with its packaging and distribution, has been tied to both environmental and societal issues across the world.

With the new plastic tax coming into force April of next year, you may have heard a lot of talk about ‘recycled content packaging’ as businesses scramble to switch to more sustainable materials. But what is recycled content packaging and how does it benefit the environment?

During the heights of the pandemic, the focus that was on sustainable packaging was put on hold, with many having to switch to plastic at last resort due to shortages in more sustainable materials.

As you likely have heard, there is a new £200 a tonne plastic tax coming into force in April next year. It applies to plastic packaging produced in or imported into the UK that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic.

With several large corporations adopting eco-friendly solutions, wider media coverage surrounding the topic of global warming, and mind blowing stats like the worst impacts of climate change could be irreversible by 2030, there’s no surprise that customers have become more eco conscious over the years.
