What is Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging is a type of packaging designed to minimize environmental impacts and use resources more efficiently. These packaging types are developed in accordance with certain criteria to reduce the environmental damage of the products throughout their life cycle. Sustainable packaging features may include:

Recyclability

The recyclability of the materials used ensures that the packaging can be reused or recycled.

Biodegradability

The easy biodegradability of packaging materials reduces environmental pollution.

Renewable Resources

Obtaining the materials used in packaging production from renewable resources increases sustainability.

Energy efficiency

Less energy consumption during packaging production reduces the carbon footprint.

Minimum Waste Production

The packaging is intended to produce minimum waste during the production process and after use.

Reducing Harmful Chemicals

Avoiding the use of harmful chemicals in packaging materials or using them at a minimum level.

Sustainable packaging allows both producers and consumers to make environmentally responsible choices and is an important step towards a healthier environment in the future.
