Any packaging material that is eco-friendly and does not harm the environment in any way is considered eco-friendly packaging. To be considered eco-friendly, a packing material must either be readily compostable and biodegradable or something that can be reused and easily recycled when discarded.
By using eco-friendly packaging, you can lower your carbon footprint, lessen the amount of plastic in the world, increase your revenue streams, and build your brand as a forward-thinking organisation that can actually make a difference in your markets and the wider globe.
Products that are environmentally friendly do not damage the environment during manufacturing, usage, or disposal. In other words, by drastically lowering the pollution and trash they could otherwise cause, these items contribute to environmental preservation.
The creation and use of packaging that improves sustainability is known as sustainable packaging. This entails a greater reliance on life cycle assessment and life cycle inventory to assist direct the use of packaging that has a smaller negative impact on the environment.
Nowadays, most businesses, if not all of them, aim to use environmentally friendly packaging. Utilising eco-friendly packaging has several advantages, but one of them is that it uses fewer resources than conventional packaging. This produces superior outcomes and is more long-lasting.
Since standard packaging materials like plastic, paper, and cardboard require a tremendous amount of energy to produce, green packaging uses environmentally friendly techniques.
The Africa 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.
The project encourages local people to collect and recycle flexible packaging, such as plastic water sachets, which are used to clean and disinfect water sources.
As part of Project REFLEX, Dow hopes to remove 10,000 Metric Tons (MT) of flexible packaging trash from landfills or the environment. According to reports, the project has so far diverted 520 MTs of flexible packaging trash into new applications and mechanical recycling processes.
A major brand owner is currently testing post-consumer recyclate (PCR), which was developed in the pilot phase, for usage in several non-food packaging applications, according to Dow.
According to Dow, if this study is successful, it will serve as an illustration of a closed-loop plastics system in Africa and advance the commercial viability of PCR materials made from flexible packaging waste.
