Traditional Packaging-Environment Killer?
Over five trillion plastics bags used every year = almost one million consumed every minute
Non-biodegradable eg. Plastics, Styrofoam
Landscape litter = emission of toxic gases
Go into soil and water killing 100,000 animals every year

Green Packaging – The New Trend?
Demand for Green Packaging projected to increase 5.7% yearly to $211.8 billion in 2015
58 billion lb of material to be consumed from the environment
Strong growth in Asia, but U.S. remains leading market
Increasingly affecting consumer’s choice of product

Bamboo Packaging
Sourced in China (75% of manufacturing operations )
FSC certified bamboo used
Very durable- more than steel
Grows very fast – no replanting required
Promotes healthy soil

EcoCradle – Mushroom Packaging
Environment waste compressed to produce mold
Mushroom grown on it
Reaction produces material similar to Styrofoam
Less energy used to produce package

Triumph over Challenges
Danger of food depletion of the Panda - bamboo
What they did:
FSC standards ensure that sourced bamboo is far from their habitats
Type of harvested bamboo not eaten by Pandas

Going Forward
Satisfying the needs of a growing population
Competitive edge only temporary?
Possibilities of alternate environment depletion

Discussion
• Should “sustainable” companies change products to suit packaging materials?
• What are some intangible disadvantages to green packaging?

Take-Away
Think beyond the sale
A fine balance between raw material sourcing and waste reduction
Packaging only a section of the inter-connected sustainability life cycle
