A circular economy, or “cradle to cradle” model, is a more sustainable alternative to the “cradle to grave” model in which raw materials are extracted, processed, and used to create products that are eventually disposed of.
Packaging, in particular, is often used and disposed of quickly, rather than remaining in use for many months or even years. Because of this, the impact that packaging has had and continues to have on our land and water (i.e., U.S. landfill capacity and ocean and waterways debris) from a frequent disposal standpoint is the reason why we need increased circularity.
Many companies are working toward aggressive recyclability and lowering their carbon footprint by increasing use of recycled content, compostability reusable packaging, and by championing zero waste goals. In this webinar, we will discuss circular packaging principles, environmental impact, and creating a sustainable future for innovative packaging.
