SUSTAINALBLE PACKAGING

Presented by:-Purva KohliRashi DhawanKuba Isaac BAmit Parida

sustainable packaging is packaging made by the best utilization of renewable energy, design and materials to minimize the environmental impact through its lifecycle.

The nature and amount of packaging required depends on each individual product and the logistics of moving it from manufacturer to consumerThe main functions of packaging are:ContainmentProtectionMarketingDisplaying informationConveniencePortion control

Goals of a sustainable packaging initiative include Reducing packaging and maximizing the use of renewable or reusable materialsUsing materials which reduce negative end-of-life impacts (e.g., eliminating the use of heavy metals and materials such as PVC)Using materials which are from certified, responsibly managed forestsOptimizing material usage including product-to-package ratios

continuationMeeting criteria for performance and cost (e.g, minimize product damage during transit)Reduce the flow of solid waste to landfillReduce the costs associated with packaging (i.e., logistics, storage, disposal, etc.)Reduce CO2 emissions through reduced shipping loads At Bureau Veritas, we can help you customize a program to meet your companys specific goals and objectives.Functions of Sustainable packaging

Key benefits of Sustainable PackagingMeet the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly productsMinimize the hazardous impact of products upon the environment and society Enhance risk management and brand protectionStrategies for Sustainable PackagingManufacture with renewable and compostable materialsManufacture with recycled and recyclable materialDesign for reuse Design for recyclingEliminate inks , paints and adhesives that are toxicEliminate secondary packagingReduce the volume of materials used

Renewable and Compostable materialsExamples :Bio-plastics made from corn, potato, wheat, or dairy polymersPaper and cardboard from sustainable managed forestCellulose film

Recycled and Recyclable materialsExamples :Paper and cardboard made from recycled fiber or molded pulpRecycled and recyclable plastics like HDPE and PET

Design for reuseExamples :Reusable and recyclable crates and palletsRe-sealable plastic containersReturn system for customer refills

Design for recyclingExamples :Packaging made from a single material (including labels and closure system)Packaging made from materials that are commonly collected for recyclingPackaging with prominent recycling symbols

STAND-UP POUCHES: flexibility, sustainablyStand-up pouches are growing rapidly: standing for protection, standing for communication, standing for convenience, standing for sustainability.US demand for stand-up pouches is forecast to grow by 42% over the next five years to reach almost 24 billion units in 2018

Packaging A Part Of The SolutionPackaging only exists because products exist: Packaging protects what it sells and sells what it protects.The environmental impact of over-packaging is widely debated, and rightly condemned.Its very visible but little understood by consumers: Packaging comprises approx. 5% of the environmental impact .Packaging serves to protect more resources than it consumes, thus bringing economic, environmental and social benefits. Modern Society couldnt function without it!!

Packaging future.In the near future the role of packaging will change, we will see packaging as a resource rather than a resource waster.Keeping the molecule in play will gain momentum (recyclability).Bio-based packaging materials will grow, but not necessarily biodegradable. Bright Future for Stand-Up Pouches: Standing for protection, Standing for communication, Standing for convenience, Standing for sustainability.Increasing health and environmental awareness, rising food prices and food safety concerns and improved purchasing power will drive growth in the smart packaging market

Few examples
