\n \n What is Sustainable Packaging? <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text]What do we actually mean when we use the term “sustainable packaging”?<\/section><\/p>\n

Well, in its broadest sense, we define sustainability as the ability to maintain a process continuously over time.<\/p>\n

However, in modern media, the term “sustainability” is typically used to refer to processes that do not deplete our environment of resources. For example, fossil fuels are not considered sustainable as there is a finite amount of them. Whereas, solar energy is typically described as sustainable because the sun gives ‘infinite’ energy.<\/p>\n

So, “sustainable packaging” is the term used to describe packaging which uses fewer resources in its creation. This could be anything from the packaging of the product itself and the packaging used to keep the product safe in transit to packaging inserts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As all packaging requires energy and materials, in reality, “sustainable packaging” is actually “packaging that is more sustainable than other options” – but that doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as easily![\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p>
