Companies across all industries and sectors are ‘light weighting’ their packaging and incorporating more sustainable raw materials. But many are still missing out on a more liquid approach to protecting products while boosting their green credentials.
Through the ‘2022 Global Outlook of Sustainable Packaging’ survey we spoke to 255 industry professionals about their sustainability successes and challenges. We were able to uncover insights across their corporate goals, their product portfolios, through the supply chain, and in their own business activities.
Amid the survey discussion we covered the problems of testing and sourcing raw recycled materials. One issue raised lies within the coating of sustainable substrates: 44% told us they had encountered problems when treating them to conventional standards.
By changing the combination of materials you use, selecting a different approach to testing, or even identifying a more appropriate set of standards to work towards, you can work towards solving these problems. And one of the best ways to navigate obstacles in this area is to partner with a test and inspection company who can offer you expert advice.
