Green packaging, also known as sustainable packaging, combines recyclable and biodegradable materials as well as environmentally friendly production processes to create product packaging that has a minimal negative environmental impact.
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.
Various industry sectors such as food & beverages, personal care, healthcare, etc have already adopted green packaging. Among them, the food & beverages sector will expand rapidly in the coming years, and steadily shift away from non-sustainable packaging to recycled packaging.
The Austria 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 Austrian Post Office is looking into reusable and sustainable packaging options for sending packages as part of the “Grüne Verpackung” trial project. The dm pharmacy chain and other merchants are taking part.
The Austrian Post Office has introduced the “Green Packaging” initiative, a pilot programme for reusable and sustainable shipping packaging for online retail, in collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences and five retail businesses. It is anticipated that the recyclable packaging will “survive” up to 100 transportation cycles.
Selected products from dm, Intersport, Tchibo, and Thalia will begin shipping in reusable packaging as part of the six-month packaging trial immediately; Interspar weinwelt will follow later in the spring. By using mailboxes, post offices, or self-service postal zones, recipients return the packaging to the appropriate retail businesses after taking the products out of it and folding it up.
They can also return packaging from dm, Thalia, and Tchibo at their respective branch offices. The packaging is cleaned and resent after being returned.
The Austrian Post Office reports that the test uses four containers that, as compared to standard disposable cartons, achieve the ecological break-even threshold after a few cycles and are manufactured from recyclable PET or renewable raw materials.
