Benefits And Popularity of Paper Packaging Paper is one of the most popular materials for packaging all over the world. Apart from paper box packaging, there are paper bags and brown paper wrapping material. Paper packaging is used for packing food, clothing, footwear, and any item that you can think of.
Let us look at some advantages of paper packaging which have made this material so popular in different industries.
More biodegradable that other packaging materials The biodegradation rate of paper is much higher compared to other types of packaging. This is particularly so when you compare it with plastic which is almost totally non-degradable. Easy to recycle Paper is one of the most recyclable materials in the world. This is because it is easy to recycle and this makes up for the fact that paper is derived from natural resources like wood. Bio-based Paper is a completely natural material that is derived from wood fiber. This is a benefit because when the paper decomposes it becomes part of nature once again. Paper is basically made from wood and hence is the most sustainable packaging material, especially with all the world’s governments vying hard to encourage the planting of trees. More environment friendly This can be said because only 1% of the world’s greenhouse gases are emitted during the production of paper. This is the lowest industrial emitters in the world. The best part is that when the trees felled for paper are replaced with younger trees in a sustainable manner, they absorb more carbon dioxide. Paper is also reusable It is easy to use paper box packaging or other types of paper packaging. For instance, the paper bags used for wrapping garments can be used to carry lightweight items when you are traveling.
Along with the above-mentioned advantages, paper is also inexpensive which is also adding to the popularity of paper as a packaging material.
