As more and more businesses, like Transpack Packaging, are looking to reduce their environmental impact we are proud to offer value for money, quality products which are either recycled, recycled, biodegradable or compostable. To better understand the differences in the types of materials available, and their environmental benefits please read Recycling Terms, or call our team about the best solution for you.

What is Eco-friendly & Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging is also referred to as eco-friendly packaging, planet-friendly packaging or environmentally friendly packaging. This is all types of packaging that has been produced to have a minimal impact on the environment.

Sustainable packaging can include the following:

Sustainable Resources: Basically means that the product has been made from a product that is regrown, like man made forests, or made from recycled materials

Recyclable: A recycled product is made from recyclable materials that are recycled back into cardboard, films, plastics etc. Recyclable products form a major part of the ongoing circular economy

Compostable: Either Home Compostable or Industrially Compostable (commercial), the product breaks down in certain conditions into good biomass for the soil

Biodegradable: This packaging is designed with an additive to degrade the product naturally in landfills and oceans more quickly than a standard plastic bag. Most biodegradable packaging is also recyclable.
