Sustainable packaging options are becoming ever more important in today’s world, where global warming, pollution and animal welfare are at the forefront of people’s minds. Almost every aspect of our personal and professional lives revolves around single-use plastics and a throwaway culture, which only harms our ecosystem.
However, we can combat these problems in both our personal and professional lives by opting for more environmentally friendly products that can be reused time and time again. Investing in high-quality reusable packaging is a more sustainable solution and although you might pay a little more upfront in the long run, it can also be a cost-effective solution.
What Is Sustainable Packaging?
Packaging that is classed as sustainable has much less of an impact on the environment than non-sustainable options. Sustainable packaging examples will include materials that can easily be decomposed or that can be recycled once they are no longer needed. Another sustainable option is a long life product. Here at PottertonPacs, we strive for sustainability with a focus on providing repeated use products that will stand the test of time and not just be a single-use solution.
By choosing to avoid disposable products and instead choosing long-life packaging, storage and transport solutions, the environmental impact is hugely reduced or eradicated. By selecting reusable products that are durable or goods that can be repaired a reduced carbon footprint is naturally achieved by using the raw materials in the most efficient way possible.
Another one of our sustainable initiatives is we use a service that repurposes and recycles the waste EPS (expanded polystyrene) we produce. This prevents this material from going to landfill and instead it is often used as stuffing in children’s toys.
