Green packaging vs. Conventional packaging. Which one to be preferred?

What does exactly green packaging refer to? Is it a better alternative for the conventional packaging? These would be the basic questions that come up in your mind when you hear that term. Sustainable packaging and green packaging are interchangeable words. It refers to the use of manufacturing materials and methods for good packaging that has less influence on energy utilization and the environment.

Thus, sustainable packaging is in a way very important to the environment. A huge amount of energy is consumed in the manufacturing of conventional packagings such as corrugated boxes, plastic bags plastics, and others. The majority of times, fossil fuels are the energy source that adds a huge amount of methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year, whereas thrown away traditional packaging ends up in oceans or landfills resulting in water, plant, and soil contamination.

With the use of sustainable packaging, consumers and manufacturers can eradicate these pollutants that obliterate the atmosphere, water, and soil of our planet. This can be achieved with the production of biodegradable or recyclable packaging and the use of substitute energy sources such as solar, biofuels, and wind in the manufacturing and shipping of the packaging.

Most extensively used packaging at present is the plastic made from polyethylene and is a major threat to the environment. Gradually more and more manufacturers are using recyclable, minimalist, and recycled packaging wherever suitable. Nowadays, biodegradable plastics are also used with a combination of plant-based plastics that substitute the fossil-based resources or non-renewable petroleum utilized in traditional PET plastic.

At present, many manufacturers are trying to fulfill the sustainable packaging threshold while manufacturing plastic bags by using post-consumer recycled polyethylene. These plastics are fabricated from the consumer effluent of wastes such as caps, recycled plastics bags, and bottles gathered in residential and commercial recycling programs. Manufacturers also use additives so as to make the plastic bag biodegradable so that it disintegrates in less time when discarded in a landfill.
