This document discusses eco-friendly packaging. It begins by defining packaging and its importance to consumers interested in environmentally-friendly options. It then outlines principles of green packaging like reduce, reuse, recycle. The rest of the document discusses types of packaging, materials like bioplastics and recycled paper that can be used, benefits of eco-friendly packaging, and concludes that innovations in sustainable packaging help the environment and meet consumer demands.
2. PACKAGING
Packaging is an important concern for consumers,
particularly those who are interested in converting to
environmentally-friendly buying behaviors.
Eco-friendly packaging is a recent phenomenon, it is

17. Benefit Of Eco-friendly
Packaging
While helping the environment is one benefit of eco-
friendly packaging, packing products using fewer and
more sustainable materials reaps additional rewards:
Saving money. Reducing excess packaging results in
lighter and smaller shipments that cost less to
transport.
Maintaining business. Switching to green materials
can help meet or anticipate customer demands for
eco-friendly suppliers.
Attracting consumers. Many shoppers will choose
an environmentally friendly product over a
conventional package.

19. Anthony King announced in 2011, the development of the world’s
first plant-based PET plastic bottle, which will in the future use
non-food sources such as orange peel. Coca-Cola and Heinz
have also recently launched bio-plastic bottles in Europe.
Along with PLA labels, in fiscal 2012, Ajinomoto Co., also plans to
use eco-friendly plastic for the cap of the AJIPANDAR jar (75 g) of
the umami seasoning AJI-NO-MOTOR. The plastic for that
purpose contained biomass polyethylene made from sugarcane.
This step will enable packaging that is completely environmental
friendly.

This article looks at some of the basic types of reusable
packaging used in industry. Reusable packaging plays a key role
within the recycling industry itself, while in terms of helping
companies achieve waste reduction targets such as Zero Landfill
initiatives within the context of more broad Zero Waste programs,
reusable transport packaging is playing an increasingly important
role. Some of the common types of reusable packaging include:
