sustainable packaging

Biodegradable product wrapping

Sustainable packaging refers to materials and designs that minimize environmental impact throughout their lifecycle—from production through disposal.

This includes packaging that is recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, or made from renewable resources.

The term appears frequently in corporate messaging and environmental policy: We're transitioning to sustainable packaging by 2025.

Critics note that the label sometimes masks modest improvements or greenwashing.
