Recyclable Packaging
Recyclable packaging is often voted as one of the most environmentally friendly types of packaging because it uses a circular lifecycle that reuses old packaging to make new packaging products. This means that less raw materials are being used which as a result is conserving the world's resources. Studies have shown that plastic packaging actually has a lower carbon footprint than paper products, so that raises the question 'Why not focus on recycling plastics rather than moving to paper?'. It's a big question, but we can only agree if a robust recycling scheme is in place and working effectively. One of the main issues with recycling packaging is knowing which packaging can be recycled, plastic packaging is the most complicated as plastic comes in many different types yet only 2 or 3 of the types are readily recycled. This means that much of the plastic ends up as waste anyway despite putting it in a recycling bin. The products in this section are all manufactured from materials that are commonly recycled, so you can be confident that the packaging that you use will most likely be reused again in its future life, if your customer recycles it.
