Growing focus on recyclable packaging solutions

Packaging is an unavoidable part of everyday life. It protects products, preserves them, enhances them, displays important information, acts as a marketing tool and allows for safe transportation.

However, the unfortunate truth is that packaging is often viewed as waste. Even worse, packaging often ends up this way too.

Therefore a key consideration of good packaging design involves the generation of less waste following the end of its’ useful life, whilst still helping end-consumers to use it and the contained products efficiently.

This is why there has been a growing focus on recyclable packaging solutions such as recyclable coffee packaging bags/films.

This guide aims to provide a balanced, holistic argument as to whether eco-friendly or biodegradable packaging would make sense for your business / application.
