Earthfirst? Compostable Solutions的动态

Recycling plastics, both rigid and flexible, comes with unique advantages and challenges: Advantages: Rigid Plastics: Easier to sort and recycle, widely accepted by facilities, and can be converted into durable products. Flexible Plastics: Lightweight and can be repurposed into materials like composite lumber, reducing material waste. Disadvantages: Rigid Plastics: Some types (e.g., colored or mixed polymers) can complicate recycling. Flexible Plastics: Harder to process due to contamination risks, lower recycling rates, and limited facility acceptance. Balancing these factors is key to driving sustainability in packaging! ?? #PackagingInnovation #Sustainability #PlasticRecycling

What are some of the more popular #plastic alternatives out there? And what are the main hurdles to moving away from plastic #packaging? The very qualities that make single-use plastics so appealing—affordability, flexibility, and durability— also make them so problematic. While the so-called #biodegradable plastics are gaining momentum and seem promising on the surface, we should also consider other equally vital factors. Our practical guide takes a layered view of innovations required to accelerate the transition from #plastic to more durable and reusable options.

?? ??????-???????????????? ?????????????????????? 101: ??????????’?? ???????????? – "???????????? ??????????????????” ?? As the push for sustainability grows, understanding terms like "carbon footprint" is essential for everyone in the packaging industry. But what exactly is a carbon footprint, and why does it matter? Carbon Footprint: The Basics A "carbon footprint" measures the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an individual, product, organization, or activity. It includes everything from production and transportation to waste management, calculating the full environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide (CO?) and other GHGs. ?????? ???????????? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????????????????? 1?? Environmental Impact of Production: Packaging materials like plastics, glass, and metals all have different carbon footprints based on how they’re sourced, produced, and processed. Choosing materials with a lower carbon footprint helps reduce the overall environmental impact. 2?? Transportation and Shipping: Heavier and bulkier packaging requires more energy to transport, increasing its carbon footprint. By optimizing packaging weight and volume, we can help clients reduce emissions across the supply chain. 3?? End-of-Life and Recycling: Sustainable packaging isn’t just about production; it’s also about disposal. Materials that are recyclable, compostable, or reusable have a smaller carbon footprint than those that end up in landfills. Understanding carbon footprints helps packaging resellers guide clients toward eco-friendly solutions that reduce their environmental impact, cut costs, and meet today’s sustainability standards. #EcoFriendlyPackaging #CarbonFootprint #SustainablePackaging #PackagingResellers #ClimateAction #PackagingIndustry

?Do #biodegradable plastics contaminate mechanical recycling streams? ??Numerous studies have proven that sorting of compostable plastics is effective and that after sorting, the contamination rate in an established recycling stream is usually very low (below 1%). Should #compostable plastics, alongside other impurities, enter the #recycling streams of, for example, PE or PET, no negative impacts are to be expected. ??Labelling is crucial, and all compostable plastic products should display clear labelling to avoid misthrows and to ensure separate collection in the dedicated waste stream. ??Learn more about #bioplastics myths at https://lnkd.in/eYDBu8nN
