‘Green’ Packaging….

Here is an interesting ‘read’ regarding eco-packaging!

From Green to Great

By JoAnn R. Hines

It’s hard to separate fact from fiction about what is considered truly “sustainable” packaging. Every company has a different take on what they deem to be the solution. Some are just spin while others have real substance.

Green, sustainable, biodegradable, recyclable, compostable, renewable and so on. The list is endless and new terms surface every day. Bio-resins bio-plastics, eco-friendly—you name it. But whatever the term may be, it needs to be relevant packaging to YOUR customer.

Common Green Phrases in the Spotlight
• Save the Environment
• Global Warming
• Carbon Footprint
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

My own personal favorite describing some of this is “Packaging Greenwash.” Now, I don’t claim to have coined this phraseology, but I do write about it A LOT.
