Why go Eco-friendly?
Protecting the environment is such a global concern especially for those businesses who want to contribute via their packaging choices. Now more than ever by choosing biodegradable, compostable and recyclable packaging options the harmful impact on the environment can be substantially reduced.
What do the following terms mean?
Recyclable – A product that can be diverted from the waste stream and that can be collected, processed, and returned to use. This does not always mean the output of a new supply of the same material – on the contrary, this process often produces another product entirely! Recycling is the most traditional and most commonly used option with regards to packaging solutions.
Biodegradable – This term is used to refer to a material that, given the right conditions upon its disposal, is decomposed by bacteria and microorganisms – breaking down into its basic components (carbon dioxide, water, methane and biomass) and eventually returning to the earth. In theory, this saves landfill space and returns nothing harmful into the atmosphere.
Compostable – All compostable products are biodegradable, but not all products are compostable. This is simply down to the added benefit boasted by compostable packaging: when they decompose, they release valuable nutrients called humus into the soil that can aid the natural growth of the trees and plants. Compostable packaging can break down within 12 weeks leaving no trace of toxic residue. These products must be disposed of in the correct manner, This means composting products in the garden home composter, or making use of local industrial composting facilities. UK customers are recommended to contact their local council for more information on these options.
While each of the available options comes with different means of disposal, they all support one common goal: reducing the amount of rubbish in landfill.
