The state of the environment today has caused alarm  all over the world. Countries are taking great measures to reduce the amount of plastic used in products manufactured because of its detrimental effect on the environment. Plastic is a durable material that was developed primarily for commercial use. It’s used to package all kinds of products, store things, and much more. The problem with this durable material is that it isn’t biodegradable. Plastic produced decades ago still exists and is choking the environment .   Sustainable packaging options: the new trend Many countries are on the road to banning plastic, but have to work on developing a material that can replace it. Some shampoo and skincare manufacturers have eliminated the need for plastic by selling their products in a bar or jelly form. These don’t require plastic bottles and dispensers. Another company had been trying to find a way around the problem of packaged water bottles and developed an edible, squishy

Small, local producers and larger food manufacturers have entered the market and there’s increased competition. Every producer tries their best to sway the consumer base their way, and as a result, new products are constantly being launched. Packaging has been a huge part of the food and beverage industry. Not only do consumers look for functionality, but they also look for visual appeal and familiarity. Here are some of the most popular food packaging trends: Single-serving packages With more and more people living independently , the food and beverage industry had to change their serving size and packaging to meet this new demand.

Choosing the right material for packaging products requires research. Overlooking this step can end up ruining the quality of your goods. There are several factors that should be considered before finalizing packaging—and UV exposure is one of them. Not all materials are resistant to the sun’s rays. Sun exposure can change the molecular composition of many substances, causing physical and chemical changes . That’s why you’ll see light protection labels on many pharmaceutical goods. Effects of UV Light Exposure The sun produces a wide spectrum of rays, out of which 95% are absorbed by the ozone layer . But ever since the depletion of the ozone layer , not all of these harmful rays are filtered out. The high-energy UVA and UVB rays aren’t only harmful to humans, but are also highly reactive with several chemical compounds. They can break their bonds and thus change their composition. This damage is called UV degradation and mostly affects polythene and other synthetic polyme

The complexity of the cannabis plant  makes it all the more interesting. Given its recent legal status in most states, there are more liberties in exploring the many properties of the compounds of the plant.

Recently, researchers from the Canadian University of Guelph , are looking into ways to extract compounds from the plant, which can be used to treat chronic pain more organically. What are cannabinoids? Cannabinoids  are a range of substances that impact the receptors in our bodies and brains and can vary in their structure and origin. These substances are similar in effect to the plant called Cannabis Sativa and fall into three categories. Cannabinoids can be used for synthetic, medicinal or recreational purposes. The plant is responsible for making as many as 80–100 cannabinoid chemicals and around 300 non-cannabinoid chemicals. The two most wide

The conversation of climate change and environmental stability is one you can’t ignore. With the increasing demand of all-natural organic products, the need of sustainable, bioplastic packaging  is also on a rise. It’s no surprise that businesses are taking charge at creating environmentally-friendly solutions to satiate the growing consumer demand for a decreased overall carbon footprint. Moreover, these eco-friendly practices give businesses a competitive edge since they demonstrate awareness and compassion as persuasive factors in driving consumer sales. Let’s look at the new materials being used for organic packaging as a part of a firm’s sustainability goals. Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics The recycled product of plastic waste is called Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin . Basically, the plastic materials are collected and sent through a process that produces plastic resin pellets. Manufacturers aim towards using high percentages of PCR as their packaging options. Us
