Do Consumers Really Understand the Importance of Eco-friendly packaging?

 

Environmental issues especially with respect to manufacturing of Recycle PaperBoxes material have been oft highlighted. Manufacturing Eco-friendly packaging products is the main concern of Express GreenPAK and other sustainable oriented companies.

From global conferences like United Nations-REDD program, focusing on international action delivered through Joint Programs, reinforced by supporting measures at regional and global levels to combat deforestation and government campaigns to reduce green-house gas emissions (GHG)  all are concentrating on environmentally friendly initiatives. 

Tropical forests are continuing to disappear at an alarming rate: between 1990 and 2005, the rate of deforestation averaged about 13 million hectares a year, occurring mostly in tropical countries. Planting of new forests as well as natural expansion of forests in some countries have resulted in a decrease in the net loss of forests. Yet we are still losing about 200 km² of forest each day because of massive tree logging to support the pulp & paper industry.

Express GreenPAK has innovated bamboo-pulp  products which are made for the same pulp & paper industry without causing a dent on deforestation. Bamboo-pulp paper-board is less harmful if you consider the recycling and reduction of carbon footprint. As all the materials in these Recycle PaperBoxes packages can be recycled, these packages can also be recycled.

This is why many packaging companies are offering green packaging products to their customers. With people getting aware about these products through the campaigns their market is increasing. Many companies have started researching on the materials that can be used to manufacture packages. The main concentration is one the matter of reducing the carbon foot print amount in packages. The materials which have a greater chance of being renewed and recycled are now being used by the companies.

It is very unfortunate that consumers are not  punishing companies still making petroleum based packaging product and greenwash the market as renewable. International organizations like the UN-REDD and governments worldwide need to play an important role to stop such incidents. Production and use of packaging such as bubble packaging, air pillow etc which are oil based can be stopped. What works best as a packaging material is either recycle paper material derived from bamboo-pulp & paper. The environment will not be harmed by this type of packaging because it can be recycled and causes less deforestation.

Express GreenPAK designs, manufactures and distributes certified, tree-free, recycle paper packaging for food processing, retail and consumer packaging industries. Our mission is to focus on biodegradable and recycle environmentally friendly packaging like Bamboo Organic Fabric Shopping Bags that protects consumer wellness while minimizing deforestation, which has enormous ecological impact on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
