What type of sustainable food packaging should be used?
Statistics indicate that consumer packaging causes the most amount of plastic and paper waste, which accounts for about 20% of all waste in landfills. Sustainable food packaging uses earth friendly materials to package a product.
Examples of sustainable food packaging are:
-
Paper and card
These are organic materials which are friendly to the environment. Many drop-off facilities collect cardboard which is often recycled into material boxes, fast food boxes, frozen food boxes and other various packaging options.
-
Kraft paper
This material is made from wood pulp, meaning the materials used to make kraft paper are plant based and therefore are very friendly to the environment. The material is also recyclable and compostable.
-
Glass
This material can be used again and again. It is a trusted material when it comes to sustainable food packaging. A consumer may choose this type of packaging over others due to its ability to preserve a product's taste and integrity.
-
Metal
This material has been used for a long time and has a statistically proven safety and sustainability record. The recycling benefits of this material mean the waste does not end up in landfills.
-
Certain types of plastic, mainly PET plastic
This type of packaging uses plastic materials which are safe, non-toxic, strong, flexible and recyclable. It is a popular, transparent packaging material and is often preferred over glass packaging due to the safety it provides. It is also light and offers an excellent barrier.
-
Corn-starch
The materials used to make these types of food packaging are derived from corn and maize plants. This means they are fully biodegradable. It is important that the packaging is disposed of properly, as it will then break down into carbon dioxide and water which causes no harm to the environment. The material is sustainable, cheap and easy to produce.
-
Compostable bowls with lids food packaging
These are usually made from sugarcane fibre, which is a by-product from sugar manufacturing factories. It is 100% biodegradable.
