Sustainable packaging: looking beyond 'recyclable'

"Recyclable" is a claim, not a guarantee.

Design for recycling. Mono-material structures (all-PP or all-PE) are far more likely to be recovered than multi-material laminates.

Material reduction. Down-gauging film and right-sizing packs often cuts more impact than switching material.

Whole-life view. A lighter pack that shortens shelf life can increase total waste — balance packaging impact against product waste.
