‘Sustainable packaging’ is developed using eco-design principles, minimising the environmental and social impacts at every stage of its lifecycle. Sustainable packaging has a lower carbon footprint from reduced, or eliminated, use of fossil raw materials. It maximises the use of post-consumer recycled content without compromising the opportunity for the materials used in its production to be utilized on multiple occasions, whether via reuse, recycling or composting.
