One good choice is glass. Glass can be recycled hundreds of time without losing structural integrity. Which is the best since it can be re-used over and over again meaning less waste. No dangerous chemicals would leach into the products inside and that makes glass safe as well. This is even more common when using cosmetic products for people caring more about their skin health.
Bamboo Bamboo is a great alternative as well. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant and can be used in the packaging of lipstick tubes or mascara keys. It is also sustainable as nature can degrade it, similar to sugar cane. Since it is plastic-free, bamboo-based cosmetic packaging assists in creating a lesser amount of plastic waste which is why this option to make beauty products has become the preferred choice among environmentally friendly consumers.
While plastic packaging is a no-brainer in terms of convenience and speed, it inflicts catastrophic damage on our society. A plastic waste can take over 500 years to completely break down. As plastic deteriorates, it breaks down into minuscule pieces known as microplastics. And these microplastics can be harmful to sea creatures, and possibly end up in our food which is troublesome.
This is why we have to look for other types of ways that will help reduce the plastic waste entering our landfills. They have intelligent companies like Yixin who are taking notice of the issues and altering their packaging design, all with the greater good in mind, to keep our world green. These companies lead the way in packaging that is Eco-friendly, which helps to curb use of plastic and we hope more will follow them.
Like sugarcane, cornstarch and bamboo biodegradable and compostable materials are trending in the market as well. Not only does this waste less but it is better for our planet. By integrating these packaging elements, the companies are acting as pioneers with better recyclable materials and encouraging a positive change for the environment. And they are demonstrating that a high standard of product can be achieved as long as it is produced responsibly and caring for our Earth.
However, please know that although sustainable packaging is getting popular for some good reasons, this change will be a slow and gradual one. Companies by far need to get on this soon before consumers are demanding it because they want better alternatives. Companies looking to thrive in the future will need to stay ahead of the demand for sustainable products.
One development where the future of packaging is being forged is in materials which breakdown naturally to reduce their environmental harm. Brands also need to really consider the way their products are produced and how they impact our planet from manufacturing right through to disposal. This includes everything from the materials used all the way to how you trash the product once it has been used.
