4 Ways Packaging Is Changing To Reduce Waste
We are witnessing a huge strain on the waste systems around the world, resulting in generation of unwanted scraps 2.01 billion tonnes annually. This adds to the already surmounting pressure of having a waste management system that is sustainable, healthy and mindful of all communities and cities.
Packaging Manufacturers are, therefore, looking for ways to preserve resources and minimize environmental impact. As the first company in the world to recycle mixed plastic waste, UFlex has become a trendsetter in innovating the right plastic waste management ecosystem to tackle recycling challenges.
Let’s see how UFlex is adapting to the current times and mitigating wastage within the packaging industry.
Composting
Compostable packaging’s natural make-up eliminates the harmful chemicals or toxins that hurts the ecosystem, making it a popular choice of packaging. UFlex is keeping its green promise alive with Biodegradable Films like GREEN PET Films and FlexFresh Liner Bags. Since it can easily be broken down to nutrients to enrich the environment, this type of packaging makes a positive contribution to reducing packaging waste in landfills.
Sustainable Raw Materials
Sustainable Packaging has especially been booming in the food and Beverage Packaging sector. Coca Cola has started manufacturing Sprite in easy-to-recycle clear bottles. Similarly, UFlex has gotten a head start on the fight against plastic pollution by introducing India’s first U-shaped paper-based straws, made with sustainably sourced paper that is 100% recyclable!
These examples show us that the extraordinary amount of waste generated from packaging calls for innovation. This requires getting into the specifics of your packaging products like what material is being used. That is why manufacturers today are incorporating materials like recycled paper, cardboard and PCR plastics.
Minimal Packaging
Our six pronged sustainability initiatives focus on investing in newer technologies that would reduce plastic consumption and energy with minimal packaging. For instance, lesser fuel is required to transport the reduced materials, which also results in even more savings.
So the more minimalistic the packaging is, the less waste created, leading to reduced costs.
How UFlex Is Becoming Eco-Forward With The Packaging Industry
Packaging waste has been the top concern for businesses for some time now. According to the World Bank, this global waste will continue to grow by 70% by 2050 unless urgent action is taken by governments, businesses and the general public alike.
As a result, UFlex is introducing Sustainable Packaging to more and more companies, using materials and processes that are eco-friendly throughout the packaging life cycle. By implementing sustainable practices with us, businesses can promote a greener future and corporate responsibility!
