Consumers don’t always recycle, so biodegradable packaging and compostable packaging are becoming really popular ways of making products more eco friendly.
Traditional board cartons are biodegradable, but elements like windows, films, foils, inserts and coatings aren’t always – especially if they’re made from oil-based plastics or metal. Fortunately, new versions of these elements mean the whole package can degrade, so it won’t hang around in landfill for hundreds of years.
