Sustainable packaging focuses on creating packaging that minimizes environmental impact through lifecycle assessments and sustainable materials. Key factors include material efficiency, recyclability, and the use of renewable or biodegradable resources, while benefits encompass reduced carbon footprint, enhanced brand image, and cost savings. Rubeeflex is highlighted as a flexible packaging provider that emphasizes innovation, customer-focused service, and tailored solutions for brands.

1. SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

2. DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Sustainable packaging is the development
and use of packaging which results
in improved sustainability. This involves
increased use of life cycle inventory (LCI)
and life cycle assessment (LCA to help guide the
use of packaging which reduces
the environmental impact and ecological
footprint.

3. GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Functional – product protection, safety,
regulatory compliance, etc.
Cost effective – if it is too expensive, it is
unlikely to be used.
Support long-term human and ecological
health.

4. FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Use of minimal materials – reduced packaging,
reduced layers of packaging, lower mass (product
to packaging ratio), lower volume, etc.
Logistics efficiency (through complete life
cycle) – cube utilization, tare weight,
enablement of efficient transportation, etc.

5. FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Energy efficiency, total energy content and
usage, use of renewable energy, etc.
Recycled content – as available and functional.
For food contact materials, there are special safety
considerations, particularly for use of recycled
plastics and paper. Regulations are published by
each country or region.

6. FACTORS FOR SUSTASINABLE PACKAGING
Recyclability – recovery value, use of materials
which are frequently and easily recycled,
reduction of materials which hinder recyclability
of major components, etc.
Reusable packaging – repeated reuse of
package, reuse for other purposes, etc.

7. FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Use of renewable resources in packaging.
Use of biodegradable and compostable materials
– when appropriate and do not cause
contamination of the recycling stream.
Avoid the use of materials toxic to humans or the
environment.

8. FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Effects on atmosphere/climate – ozone
layer, greenhouse gases (carbon
dioxide and methane), volatile organic
compounds, etc.
Water use, reuse, treatment, waste, etc.
Worker impact: occupational health, safety,
clean technology, etc.

9. FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Made from materials healthy throughout the
life cycle.
Physically designed to optimize materials and
energy.
Use integral design to reduce the use of
materials.

10. SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING BENEFITS
Sustainable Packaging Reduces Carbon
Footprint:
Sustainable packaging reduces your carbon
footprint. The moment you switch from
carbon to recycled materials to produce
sustainable packaging it has an immediate
green effect on our environment.
