Implementing green design for packaging can be made easier with the help of various tools and methods, such as eco-design software, green packaging materials, formats, and labels. Eco-design software like Eco3, SolidWorks Sustainability, and PIQET can help you design, analyze, and optimize your packaging for environmental performance. Green packaging materials are those that are made from renewable, recycled, or biodegradable sources or have lower impacts on the environment; examples include paper, cardboard, bioplastics, bamboo, cork, and mushroom. Green packaging formats are designed to reduce waste and save space; examples include pouches, bags, tubes, boxes, and trays. Lastly, green packaging labels communicate the environmental attributes and benefits of your packaging to customers; these labels can include certifications, logos, claims or stories that show how your packaging meets certain standards or criteria for sustainability. Examples of green packaging labels are the Green Dot, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the Cradle to Cradle (C2C).
