Eco-friendly Food packing, the healthy substitute.

 Eco-friendly food packing

 1)Kraft Paper

          These types of eco friendly food packaging are used internationally in the industry. Also known as butcher paper or brown paper, it derives its name from the German word Kraft, which means resistance, strength and effectiveness. Kraft paper is made of wood pulp. It’s coarse and brown in colour. Since the materials used to make these bags are mostly plant-based, they are very friendly to the environment. These types of eco friendly food packaging are also recyclable and compostable, making it very appealing, especially to environmentalists.

2)Cornstarch

           The materials used to make these types of eco friendly food packaging are derived from corn and maize plants. This means they are biodegradable, which is critical when it comes to environment conservation. It is imperative that you dispose of the packaging material properly to ensure it does not take too long to decompose.When properly disposed of, the materials will break down into carbon dioxide and water, which cause no harm to the environment. The materials are cheap, sustainable, and easy to produce; hence, they are ideal for companies with a wide variety of foods to package.


 3)Glass Packaging

      Glass is a trusted eco-friendly material. A consumer may choose this type of packaging over the others due to its ability to preserve a product’s taste and integrity. Its main advantage is the fact that it can be used over and over without losing its quality or purity. The commonly used glass containers in food packaging are bottles with narrow necks and jars or pots that have wide openings. Since glass is inert, it is healthy and safe to use.


4)Recycled Cardboard and Paper Packaging

    Cardboard and paper are organic materials that are friendly to the environment. Many drop-off facilities collect cardboard, which is often recycled to make cereal boxes, fast food boxes, frozen food boxes, and other various paper and cardboard packaging applications. On the downside, the recycled paper and cardboard contain harmful mineral oils and other substances that may contaminate the food beyond the safe-for-consumption level.
