The necessity of sustainable packaging

Sustainability has always been a key issue in all walks of life. For the packaging industry, green packaging means that packaging has little impact on the environment and the packaging process consumes the least energy.

Sustainable packaging refers to those made with compostable, recyclable and reusable materials, which are commonly use to reduce the wasted resource, lowering down carbon footprint, and recycle the waste.

So, what are the potential benefits of sustainable packaging?

First of all, the compostable packaging bag market has grown significantly in recent years, and has broad future prospects. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, demand for sustainable packaging solutions is surging. This growing awareness has stimulated innovation in compostable packaging material technology, thereby improving product performance and efficiency, and a sustainable supply chain means reducing white pollution, which in turn translates into lower costs.

Secondly, the compostable packaging market is also supported by governments and environmental organizations, which encourage companies to adopt environmentally friendly practices. As more and more industries recognize the benefits of compostable packaging, the market is expected to expand and diversify significantly, such as home compostable and commercial compostable food sealing bags, express bags, etc.

According to the 2022 Sustainable Packaging Consumer Report, 86% of consumers are more likely to buy a brand with sustainable packaging. More than 50% said they consciously choose a product simply because of its eco-friendly packaging, such as reusable, compostable, recyclable and edible packaging. Therefore, sustainable packaging can not only help companies save money, but also expand their customer base.

In addition to complying with regulations and consumer demands, sustainable packaging also has commercial advantages. For example, the use of sustainable packaging can reduce costs, improve brand image and enhance competitiveness, which will encourage companies to more actively promote sustainable packaging applications.

In short, packaging sustainability is an inevitable trend in the entire packaging industry.
