While the terms "sustainable packaging" and "eco-friendly packaging" are often used interchangeably, they have subtle differences.... Eco-friendly packaging goes beyond just being environmentally conscious. It refers to packaging that remains functional while minimizing its impact on the environment.... To be truly sustainable, packaging manufacturing must utilize resources efficiently, prioritize materials with low carbon footprints, optimize production processes, adhere to ethical practices, and develop materials that can be recycled. These efforts yield not only environmental benefits but also clear economic and social advantages.

CONT

Le développement d'un emballage écoresponsable est une décision complexe et fait intervenir beaucoup d'acteurs. Afin d'assurer qu'elle soit fructueuse, une telle démarche devrait se baser sur les 3 piliers interconnectés du développement durable : soit la société, l'économie et l'environnement. De cette façon, l'entreprise ne vise pas seulement un impact positif sur la performance financière, mais également des impacts environnementaux et sociaux. Une telle approche est particulièrement importante dans le cadre d'une démarche de développement durable en emballage, considérant les enjeux environnementaux actuels et les pressions sociétales.

Sustainable food products include those made from upcycled ingredients, using minimal packaging and sourced from local, sustainable farms – and all of those start with the product development team. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the effects of their food choices and are looking for products that align with their values. By incorporating sustainable practices into their product development process, companies can develop products that are not only environmentally and socially responsible but also meet the needs and preferences of consumers increasingly seeking sustainable options.
