Plastic packaging has had a major negative impact on the environment. Plastic bags and protective packaging such as polystyrene foam and air bubbles companies that are used throughout the world. Fortunately, technology exists to provide an environmentally friendly packaging, and more companies are looking for a way at least harmless to the environment, green packaging will the new choice. Many manufacturers are developing new packaging and products, ranging from bio-plastic, foam etc., the key ways for green packaging would be sustainable packaging which is totally biodegradable, that means the packaging will break down later.
If the products that your company is being transported, use the protective packaging, which is made of biodegradable plastic. These bioplastics packaging could be derived from plants such as wheat, potatoes and corn. These products are biodegradable and made from renewable resources, contributing to pressure on petrochemical packaging. Technologies already proved the bioplastics packaging can be derived from sunlight ,oxygen, and the bodies are natural elements.
Supermarkets have already reduced use of plastic bags for a while, and some other big retailers are not automatically offer bag to clients, but if necessary, they will charge for a small fee to customers to encourage reuse their own bags. Cloth bags, as a green option is also a fantastic marketing tool, as its name and logo printed on the bag, and when they can be reused, customers will continue to do their advertising for them. The bags can be used to buy, how to keep sports bags, books, school or university, and any number of goals. Companies can gain valuable contribution to the exposure through the use of bags. It may be more expensive than plastic bags, but with an increase in commercial advertising, except for the long-term customer for reuse, far outweigh the additional costs.
Of course, the best policy for green packaging is no packaging, if companies can change the course of the demand for refined products with healthier alternatives, the need for packaging can be reduced.Reduced packaging translates to cost savings in material costs, transportation and disposal. For the manufacturers, recycled material is better than recyclable products, a recyclable product may or may not be recycled. A recycled product on the other hand has been recycled and therefore has a smaller ecological footprint.

Cardboard boxes are mainly used for packaging products or transportation. It refers to different types of paper material, which are heavier than paper. To qualify as cardboard, paper should be stiffer than.006 inches thick. It may be known as corrugated cardboard in the form of flat and then folded into box. Flat sheets are used to insert a central groove or fiberfill short corrugated paper.
Corrugated cardboard is the ideal material used for packaging boxes, protection and transportation of various types of products. The main reason for this is that it offers a good protection for material inside. Second, it is also very strong, as the layers of corrugated paper between two layers of strong puncture resistant. The grooves that the strongest cardboard box and also acts as a buffer when crushed. The orientation of the flutes also attached, and vertical alignment gives additional strength to the cardboard box.
Not all cardboard boxes are strong and the type of fluted corrugation which lies between the outer layers . If the flute is greater, the cardboard boxes are stronger. These boxes save things like furniture, glass and materials used heavy foods. If the thickness of the flute is thinner, it can be used for stand-up displays or ballot boxes. There are some cardboard boxes are light weight can be used for software packaging or container as the place of purchase.
From an environmental standpoint, the cardboard boxes are preferable compared with plastic boxes, because the former are recyclable. However, plastic containers are preferred by many because they can be used multiple times and keep you fashionable. In addition, there are a lot of work to be consumed in the production of cardboard boxes, while plastic containers are building lighter and more durable and not in comparison with high energy costs.
In the shelter of corrugated boxes for the formation of internal and external background and corrugated on the outside of the peaks and valleys of each flute part stuck glued. This can be used for packing heavy items such as refrigerators and machines. On the other hand, flat cardboard has a smooth surface on one side. Can be used for the packaging of the light elements, such as cosmetics, software, video games, etc. It is more acceptable for paper recycling plants.
Corrugated cardboard must be flattened and spread, and then recycled. He has plenty of storage space and flattening the volume. The waxed cardboard is not recyclable, but can be used as milk cartons, wax prevents leakage.
It is advisable to dismantle and store the cardboard box flat. You can then tie in bundles, where appropriate, in a garage or attic, where there is no humidity environment. Because they are mainly of paper, boxes moisture can damage. Boxes can be slid on the floor or platform.
