Packaging that is sustainable, eco-friendly, ecologically friendly, and/or recycled is vital for a variety of reasons. The reduction of waste and the carbon impact of businesses is at the forefront. Second, there is an increase in sales as customers become more environmentally conscious, with corporate social responsibility programmes influencing buying decisions.

One of the most essential parts of sustainability is choosing food packaging that is both safe for consumption and environmentally friendly or recyclable in order to limit the impact on landfill overflow.

Cardboard and paper packaging that has been recycled

Cardboard and paper packaging materials are particularly environmentally friendly. The materials, which range from fast food boxes to straws and packaging uses, are easily biodegradable and take up little waste space. It is critical to ensure that the cardboard or paper packaging you employ does not contain any dangerous mineral oils or compounds that could contaminate food.

Food packaging made from cornstarch is best suited to non-liquid meals. These food containers are biodegradable because they are created from corn and maize plants, but they must be handled by specific recycling plants that follow certain standards to break them down into carbon dioxide and water. The materials are inexpensive and simple to manufacture; however, it is critical that they have a dedicated collecting bin for pickup by an authorised recycling processing company.

Food Research Lab provides expert consultation to help you pick apt packaging materials and methods for your food and beverage products.
