Perhaps you're reading this because you're looking for new, better, and more eco-friendly product packaging options. If you're eager to stop using plastic, it's time for you to make the big switch. These days, businesses around the world are looking towards more eco-friendly practices; this means using reusable materials. When you think about it, spending money sourcing and printing on plastic packaging, only for it to be thrown away shortly after it’s received, is a waste of time and money.

During this Corona crisis, there had been number of webinars and that too free. Initially I was tempted and then I realised that most of them have been sucking my energy with no real take away. Later I invested into some paid webinars and then realised the marked difference. I analysed the reasons behind and some of the top 5 reasons that I could think are:

As members of the packaging industry, the largest contributor of both plastic generation and plastic waste globally, we must constantly engage ourselves to find alternatives to this very gradual yet potent destruction of the environment.

With the growing demand for more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to plastic in the packaging industry, many developments have been made in the field of bio-based materials in the recent past.

Following are a few innovations that demonstrate potential.

1. 1. DUOPACK - is an innovative double flexible packaging patented in many countries of the world. This package is based on widely distributed flexible stand-up pouch with one feature - in the middle there is a partition that divides the inside products into two isolated parts. In this way, the consumer can use this package to extract alternately or jointly-internally the foods according to his taste and discretion.
2. 2. DUOPACK - is the continuation of the duality trend of packaging and the next step in the development  of flexible packaging doy-pack pouch.

Today’s manufacturers are challenged to package their products both cheaply and effectively. This is why so many food products now come in hard-to-recycle composite packages. A composite material contains layers of plastics, paper, and metals joined together with resins or wax. Due to the properties of each material, the package is thinner, more cost effective, and more durable than a single-material package.

Oberschleissheim, June 8, 2020 – Patients suffering from life-threatening allergies always carry a life-saving companion with them: an adrenaline autoinjector in order to immediately inject themselves in the event of an anaphylactic shock and to thus counter an allergic reaction.

What started as an unknown virus is now holding the whole world hostage. Medical scientists are working round-the-clock to crack the puzzle brought by this novel coronavirus. Every industry has been a victim of this predicament, ranging from small to established companies. The only institutions thought to be holding the key out of the current pandemic are the pharmaceutical companies. 

Packaging is essential, now more than ever. During a time of global economic and health uncertainties, packaged products are a necessity. Whether it’s hand sanitizer, pharmaceuticals, testing kits, or food products, packaging is an essential part of keeping the world safe and healthy. Our packaging experts recently had a chat (with proper social distancing, of course) about the changes they're seeing in the industry as a result of COVID-19.

With a growing need to develop sustainable alternatives to plastic, especially in the packaging industry, many novel technologies have surfaced. Bioplastics is one such category of substitutes for the highly versatile and highly polluting plastic.

Bioplastics are considered to be a lot more eco-friendly than ordinary plastics and are quickly replacing them in many industries. However, there are many misconception in the consumer community regarding the production and disposal of the same.
