Recyclable packaging: materials and advantages
In our daily lives, we all recycle dozens of packages. And when buying a product, we pay more attention to whether the package is recyclable. When thinking about the packaging of your product you can choose from a multitude of materials depending on the type of product you are working on, its audience and the values you want to convey.
In that case, it is practically mandatory to choose recyclable materials to manufacture the packaging of any product that is going to be launched on the market. Companies are also betting very heavily on recyclable materials when making their packaging, because they are increasingly committed to caring for the environment and promoting a circular economy.
For this reason, it is increasingly common to see packages made with recyclable materials like for food, beverages, cosmetics and also in fashion. Now, we are going to see some of the most demanded materials when creating recyclable packaging.
KRAFT PAPER:Kraft paper is one of the most used materials to make product packaging in all kinds of sectors: food, beverages, fashion, or pharmacy. Is made from natural fibers that come from wood, which makes it a strong, flexible type of paper that withstandsmoisture well. That's why it protects well from bumps and scratches.
It can be perfectly printed. It is fully customizable and its texture and color always give that different and natural touch to the packaging, whether it is a box, a case or a bag in a box.
CARDBOARD AND CORRUGATED CARDBOARD:Cardboard is a material made from paper pulp, it is made up of several layers, which is why it can become quite thick and serve as a package for products. The pulp from which the cardboard is made can be virgin or made of recyclable materials.Therefore, recyclable cardboard packaging can be created for all kinds of products. Recycled cardboard packs are strong, lightweight, and can be printed on. They are widely used for food. For example, for cookie boxes, perfumery, cosmetics andpharmaceutical products. Corrugated cardboard is a laminated material made up of several layers, among which there is at least one corrugated material. It is a light material, but at the same time resistant. Is widely used for crafts, containers, and also for packaging.Because it is easy to assemble and disassemble. As it is a laminated material, we can put special papers on the outside to give our packaging the texture and print finish that we want.
Advantages of using recyclable packaging RECYCLABLE PACKAGING IMPROVES BRAND IMAGE The awareness that has grown in consumers for the environment continues to increase. They value the consumption of healthier products that are in a more sustainable package and that contribute to caring for the environment. The research consultant ¨Research and Markets¨ predicts that the demand for sustainable packaging will grow by approximately 5.1% per year by 2025. The circular economy defends the optimization of materials extending their useful life. Thus we change the current linear system of "use and throw away", to "reuse, repair and recycle", to extend the useful life of products and give them a second lifewith minimal environmental impact.
