Packaging sustainability
Sustainability refers to providing for the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to provide for their needs. Sustainable development minimizes the use of nonrenewable materials and energy in satisfying today's needs.
Figure 1. Sustainable packaging is about more than just recyclable or renewable materials; it's a closed loop starting with sourcing and environmentally minded design and continuing through distribution and waste management. Copyright 2006 GreenBlue.
