Materials and Sustainability

Sustainability has become an important part of packaging design in recent years. When choosing materials for your packaging, take into account the environmental impact of each option and choose the one that's most sustainable.

Compostable Materials

Biodegradable plastics made from corn, wheat, or potato starch.

Mushroom-based “mycelium” packaging.

PLA packaging made from sugar-cane fibers, cornstarch, or other plantbased materials.

Recyclable Materials

Recyclable plastics like PET and high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

Paper-based packaging products

Cardboard or corrugated fiberboard

Reusable Materials

Use reusable containers or bags for your products. Reusable glass, metal or plastic jars or tubs.

Recyclable or biodegradable bags, as long as they are strong enough for the items being packaged.
