Ways for green packaging

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.
