The Need to Offer Sustainable Packaging & How to Do it Right
                     The Need to Offer Sustainable 
Packaging & How to Do it 
Right

The continuous degradation of the environment has prompted businesses to change the way they work. Eco-
friendly drives, which were previously implemented by novel companies, are now becoming a standard 
practice to aid our ailing planet. It is a collective aim, but is every business doing its part?
The companies that sell products use packaging material to ensure the product’s look & safety. A myriad of 
products has been used for this over the years- ranging from paper to plastics. However, the immense 
number of products paired with the deteriorating state of the Earth prompts the need to switch to sustainable 
packaging.
What is Sustainable Packaging
To put it in simple terms, Sustainable Packaging refers to packing products specifically and using materials 
that lessen their environmental impact and ecological footprint.
Reducing packaging material paired with minimising waste are crucial components of this idea. For instance- 
Major companies like Apple & Samsung reduced the size of phone packaging to bring down the use of 
packaging material.
Need for Sustainable Packaging
Increased Packaging
Products require different types of packaging depending on their nature and target consumer.
Few companies rely on multiple layers of packaging to ensure product safety. Even if this doesn’t look 
unsustainable on paper, the need for more packaging material forces increased production and faster 
depletion of resources.
