Environmentally Friendly Packaging

The most eco-friendly packaging is one that is made from renewable and biodegradable materials, such as paper, cardboard, and plant-based plastics. These materials can be recycled or composted, reducing waste and minimizing harm to the environment. Additionally, using minimal packaging and avoiding single-use packaging can also help reduce waste and increase sustainability. Other eco-friendly options include reusable containers, biodegradable foam, and biodegradable shipping envelopes.

There are several alternatives to plastic packaging that can be used instead, including: paper, cardboard, biodegradable and compostable materials like corn starch, and plant-based plastics made from materials like bamboo and hemp. Glass, metal, and cloth are also great options for reusable packaging. These materials are often recyclable, biodegradable, or both, making them a more sustainable choice than traditional plastic packaging. By using these alternatives, we can reduce waste and minimize harm to the environment.

The most sustainable void fill for packaging is a material that is biodegradable and compostable.  Our “Bio Fill” packing peanuts are 100% compostable and biodegradable and are made from Australian wheat starch.
