How to Become Sustainable, 07/01/2008
How to become sustainable? Check on your packaging. But be sure to
work on the balance of environmental characteristics, such as
recyclability, recycled content, source reduction, renewable materials,
compostability/biodgegradability and reusability, with functionality and
cost. Consider, too, your customer base. Depending upon your product,
they may have above-average knowledge about sustainable packaging and
have strong feelings about the viability of certain options!
More on Recycling and Recycled Content, 05/01/2008
Check out our latest issue of Sustainability Times! Read about packaging using recycled content, including Method Product's package conversion to 100% RPET and Evian Natural Spring Water adding recycled content to packaging; panel-less design encourge glass-to-PET conversions; lightweight closure options; compostable labels; biodegradable PET and more.
Maximizing Sustainability, 03/01/2008
Everyone loves sustainable packaging. How could anyone not embrace it? It would be like being against apple pie or motherhood. The problem is, there’s little understanding, even among packaging professionals, about what sustainable is. Some emphasize material from renewable sources like corn or wood; others favor recyclable materials; still others advocate recycled content. It makes it really tough to design the most sustainable package.
