The problem that occurs along with packaging waste
We all know that plastic wastes are one of the biggest environmental issues. Almost half of all the plastic is disposable packaging. It is used for special moment then return to the ocean even millions of tons per year. They are hard to be resolved naturally.
Microplastics have been detected in human breast milk for the first time, a new study has found Recently. “The chemicals possibly contained in foods, beverages, and personal care products consumed by breastfeeding mothers may be transferred to the offspring, potentially exerting a toxic effect,” “Plastic pollution is everywhere – in the oceans, in the air we breathe and the food we eat, and even in our bodies,” they said.
Flexible packaging lives with us.
It is hard to cut off the plastic packaging from normal life. Flexible packaging just everywhere. Packaging pouches and film are used to wrap and protect the products inside. Such as food, snack, medicines and cosmetics. Various packaging is used in shipment, storage gifts.
Packaging plays an important role for products. Food pouches help extend the shelf life so we can enjoy the exotic recipes overseas. Ensures food safety and reduce the waste. Considering the serious impact, the packaging brings with us and our earth. It is necessary and urgent to improve the packaging method and material gradually. Packmic is always ready to develop and work with new packaging solutions. Especially when the packaging help reduces the waste and guarantee the high quality of products, cut the influence on the environment we think it a win-win packaging.
Two challenges that packaging waste management meet.
Packaging recyclability –Lots of packaging created today can’t be recycled in most recycling facilities. Mainly occurs for multi-material packaging, it is hard to delaminate these three to four layers packaging bags or film.
Packaging Waste facility-Recyling rates of plastic packaging is quite low. In USA, recovery rates for packaging and food-service plastics pouches and containers are about 28% low. Developing countries haven’t ready for big scale waste collection.
Since packaging will stay with us for a long time. We need to find solutions of innovative packaging to decrease the bad impact on the planet. This is where Sustainability comets into action.
Once a product was consumed its packaging is often thrown away.
Sustainable packaging, the future of packaging .
What is Sustainable Packaging.
People may want to know what makes the packaging sustainable. Here are some tips for reference.
- sustainable material was used.
- Disposable options support compostable and / or recycling.
- The packaging designs for maintain the product’s quality.

why we need sustainable packaging
Reduce pollution- Plastics waste mostly dealt with by burning or fill in the land. They cannot disappear. It is better to change to in the future by biodegradable packaging solutions —allow the packaging to breakdown naturally- Compostable Packaging, therefore reducing environmental pollution and releasing carbon dioxide.
Better packaging Design- Compostable packaging is made by design to be easily convert into the soil at the end. Recyclable packaging is made by design to be easily converted back into new materials at its end of life, providing a consistent supply of secondary raw materials of new packaging products.
