plastic packaging
Synthetic product wrapping
Plastic packaging refers to containers, wraps, and protective materials made from synthetic polymers—bottles, bags, clamshells, shrink wrap, and the like.
The term often carries negative connotations in environmental contexts, where reducing plastic packaging is a common goal: The company pledged to eliminate single-use plastic packaging by 2030.
