What packaging should you choose for your organic brand?
Did you know that globally, around 2 billion tonnes of waste is generated every year? Imagine how much waste is being produced daily, and the aftermath of this disastrous habit, and its effect on the environment we live in.
Pro-environment movements have created a massive demographic of health-conscious consumer communities that connect better with brands that offer organic products in eco-friendly packaging. Moreover, brands that are already pretty big on zero waste, a well-intended endeavor to protect the ecosystem, carry an indisputable responsibility to switch to green and eco-friendly packaging.
With the growing need for eco-friendly packaging of organic products and the benefits associated with the same, organic brands are switching to sustainable packaging solutions that resonate with their brand identities.
Growing Need for Sustainable Packaging
Eco-friendly packaging, also known by the names — sustainable packaging, biodegradable packaging, and green packaging — is the practice of choosing environment-friendly products to carry/pack consumer products. The growing need for eco-friendly packaging could be attributed to the direct impact of non-biodegradable packaging materials on the natural resources — right from manufacture to the consumption and disposal of the same. Considering the environmental safety, brands that create, promote, and sell organic products have turned to natural, plant-based packaging products (such as hemp) in place of potentially harmful, non-recyclable materials (such as plastic).
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Packaging for Premium Product Brands?
Organic brands promote the use of natural plant-based products for regular consumption/usage, thereby creating awareness about an environment-friendly lifestyle. As a brand, organic product manufacturers are continually looking for ways to prevent environmental damage across various aspects of product manufacturing, promotion, composition, and packaging.
Materials used in green packaging are generally plant-based/starch-based biomaterials, refurbished products, recyclable biomaterials, organic fabrics, and much more. However, choosing the right packaging products that strengthen your brand vision to ‘promote sustainable living’ is a challenge.
Why should you Switch to Hemp Paper for Organic Food Packaging?
Although switching to recyclable product packaging is a great idea, it is a challenge to find a functionally-efficient and aesthetically-pleasing option that can differentiate your products’ shelf appeal.
Hemp paper, made from the stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant, is an incredibly eco-friendly packaging paper to start off with. It offers significant advantages over other tree-based papers given its characteristic features — durable, lightweight, breathable, robust, soft texture, and much more!
– Highly Breathable Material — Hemp paper packaging, as opposed to its wood pulp counterpart, is a highly breathable material that doesn’t retain moisture and is not susceptible to mold & mildew.
– Ideal biodegradable packaging solution — Hemp fibers comprise 85% cellulose (30% in regular trees) and require fewer toxic chemicals during paper-making.
– Zero Production Delays — Hemp trees grow at a faster rate compared to regular trees, a far more abundant resource, and a quick production turnaround.
– Eco-friendly Manufacturing Process — A truly climate-positive (carbon-negative) plant, hemp can be grown across all weather conditions, and relatively sustainable cultivation processes need fewer resources and lower toxic emissions into the ecosystem.
