Disposable packaging materials are one of the leading causes of pollution specially soil pollution. Huge sanitary landfills are needed to accommodate the billions of tons of packaging material disposed every year. Green packaging is going to change all this. It is not just about cutting down the amount of packaging but also takes into consideration processing, package designing, dumping conditions and the total production life cycle into consideration. Some of the characteristics of green packaging include reducing the amount of packaging used in weight and volume, cutting down the energy employed for production and transfer of commodities, employing packaging that can be recycled again, using recyclable and recycled materials and finally using perishable and biodegradable materials.
Today, many businesses such as syringe packaging machines manufacturers, beverage manufacturers and fast food chains are paying attention to green packaging because market research has shown that consumers are more interested in sustainable packaging provided additional aspects of packaging like practicality are met.
Green packaging is made of reprocessed products, reusable products, renewable raw materials and biodegradable material. Some sustainable packing products are paper, glass and aluminium. Paper is light and can be reprocessed many times. Glass uses the least energy to recycle. Furthermore, it is chemically inert and can be recycled many times without degrading. Aluminum is easy to recycle and can be shaped to almost any shape.
Synthetic biodegradable polyesters are moisture resistant, and can easily disintegrate in twelve weeks under aerophilic conditions. They can be used as a coating for protecting cheaper perishable materials. The largest problem in the popularizing of this product is its high cost.
