Why Sustainable Packaging & The Circular Economy MattersAs consumers become more aware of the environment, they are choosing to make more sustainable choices and are more likely to buy from retailers who use sustainable packaging. It has become a priority to find more sustainable packaging and circular economy solutions for businesses. Sustainable packaging can help reduce the negative environmental impacts of packaging materials. Packaging materials such as plastic, paper, and glass are essential for protecting and transporting products, but they can also have significant environmental consequences if not managed properly.
