Manufacturers are currently competing with each other to produce a form of green packaging. Packaging is an important part of marketing these days,but much of it is a threat to the environment.
The production of such packaging uses up a great deal of energy and cartons,wrappers,etc are often difficult to dispose of when they become waste material. People in most countries have become aware of the damage which modern living is doing to the environment,and many of them are concerning themselves with the conservation of the environment for future generations.
Thus,both politicians and scientists are now looking at the issues of the energy-saving and waste disposal with a view to making them more environmentally-friendly. As far as packaging is concerned,it is vital that it is either recyclable or biodegradable.
For example,instead of throwing out newspaper and glass bottles with their household rubbish,people in several countries are being encouraged to put these in special containers to allow the material to be recycled.Some household waste,such as vegetable peelings,is naturally biodegradable and so decomposes gradually until it disappears.
The UK Green Packaging Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Degradable Additives – The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, or ISRI, released a set of clarifications and new policy positions about the use of degradable additives in packaging. Degradable additives have not undergone comprehensive testing, and there is no evidence of extent of the risk they may pose to the environment and human health.
Additionally, even though the compounds may aid in degradation, some parts of the plastic compounds may remain in landfills, even after hundreds of years.
Finally, these additives may be detrimental to recycling processes because they contaminate other plastic and render it unrecyclable.
Compostable materials sometimes also have questionable origins. The manufacture of some palm-fiber packaging, for example, has been associated with the deforestation of rainforest habitats in Malaysia.Green packaging strives to use as little fossil fuel energy as possible to reduce the carbon footprint of packaging manufacturing.
