Sustainable packaging decisions should consider the full process. A material may sound sustainable, but the structure still has to protect the product, run on the line and avoid excess waste.

Efficient film recipes, tight gauge control, downgauging opportunities, recycled materials where applicable and production scrap management can all contribute to a better environmental profile.

The most useful sustainability review begins with performance requirements. From there, the team can evaluate how to reduce waste without creating more product loss, downtime or package failure.
