Eco Friendly Packaging is Thriving

Paper may be the oldest form of what today is referred to as "flexible packaging." Sheets of treated mulberry bark were used by the Chinese to wrap foods as early as the First or Second century B.C. During the next fifteen hundred years, the paper-making technique was refined and transported to the Middle East, then Europe and finally into the United Kingdom in 1310. Eventually, the technique arrived in America in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1690.

Recycling packaging-green sustainable packaging reduces the environmental impacts marginally. The real solution is in changing what we eat and how we get what we eat. If we ate mostly fresh fruit, vegetables and grains that we either grew ourselves or purchased from local growers, packaging would change enormously. Our health would improve and we would find a greater connection to our community and bioregion.


Plastic packaging and coatings are often singled out as among the chief contributors to the current environmental crisis. Technology currently exists to make packaging that is eco-friendly. It is only being used on a small scale, as yet. Eco friendly packaging ranges from bioplastic containers, stretch wrap, and filling, to natural cellulose foam. Many packaging manufacturers are working on innovative ways to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, including making packaging biodegradable. Biodegradability refers to the ability of a product to be broken down into simpler forms by living organisms, thus reducing its persistence in the environment in its original form.

Many biodegradable plastics are made from plant sources, particularly corn, wheat and potatoes. The starch is extracted from the plant material, subjected to micro-organisms that cause lactic acid to form long-chain polymers and results in poly lactyl acid or PLA. Not only are plant plastics-bioplastics-biodegradable, they are also made from renewable resources thus reducing pressure on finite petrochemical supplies.

Molded pulp packaging, made of sugarcane/bamboo/straw/reed bagasse fiber, is a kind of new-type packing material with the features of damp proofing, shockproof, sound insulation. It is a good substitute for traditional foam, glass and plastic packaging. For Business seeking to promote an environmentally friendly ideal, customer can use Shenling molded pulp products further typify the company image and characteristics of the packaging by highlighting the 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable of pulp packaging, impress the green brand on the consumers, improve products market competence and promote the sales of the products.
