What is Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging is using Renewable, Reusable, and Recyclable material and processes to minimize environmental impact.

By using sustainable packaging can be a great way to minimize the non-biodegradable plastic from the environment. The great part about it is that the source of raw material also comes from sustainable way.

And what we need to know about sustainable packaigng are, is it food safe and environmentally friendly and is it should be sourced, manufactured and recycled using renewable energy?

For sustaniable packaging bags, normally there are PCR packaging, recyclable packaing and compostable packaing. It's worth mentioning that all of our sustainable flexible packaging is FDA approved and BPA free.

PCR packaging is manufactured with film that is made from recycled materials. In general, PCR packaging cannot be recycled again since it's already made from recycled materials. This allows brands to fulfill their sustainability goals, without relying on the consumer to recycle or compost the package after use.

Recyclable packaing is manufactured with film that is made from new material. It is recyclable when the materials can be processed and used again.  Once the package enters the recycling stream, it is broken down into raw materials and sold to manufacturers.

Compostable packaging is manufactured with film that is made from corn starch, plant- based material. It can breaks down completely in a compost site and leaves no toxic residue. In order for a plastic to be called compostable, it must biodegrade, or break down into carbon dioxide, water, or biomass at the same rate as paper.
