Packaging eco friendly: harmony and awareness

The customer choice is based on eco-sustainable packaging

Circular economy, eco friendly packaging, environmentally friendly packaging: these are all terms that have entered forcefully and by right into the daily lexicon and to which it is appropriate to pay the utmost attention. The problem of environmental pollution and waste disposal is increasingly discussed and current and has awakened environmental awareness in companies, large and small, driven above all by consumers. In fact, it is the latter who increasingly require that everything that is produced has a minimum environmental impact and substantially contributes to a real green economic turnaround, to an all-round green packaging.

Environment friendly packaging if inspired by the principles of the Circular Economy, or an economic system that aims to reuse the various materials in subsequent production cycles, promoting recycling and minimizing the impact on the environment by reducing waste. In this logic, even the packaging must be studied and made with eco-sustainable materials so that they can be reused and recycled several times.

In the circular economy, sustainable packaging plays a fundamental role or rather, it has a double role. On the one hand, it responds to the original need to protect products from shocks, bad weather and theft during transport with the awareness that in reality the box has become a real strategic marketing tool aimed at communicating value and information on the brand and product.

On the other hand, it is defined as "the worst enemy" of the environment and the reason is easily understood: some packaging is destined to become waste immediately after use. Eco friendly packaging materials is today a decisive driver in influencing consumers' purchasing choices. In fact, it is estimated that for 41% of consumers, packaging is a fundamental element to pay attention to when evaluating a brand, its values ​​and its reputation on the market. For this reason, manufacturing companies are committed and investing more and more to study innovative solutions that can reduce the use of plastic and all polluting, toxic and non-recyclable materials.

If until a few years ago potential customers did not pay too much attention to the packaging of their purchases, now the sense of responsibility and awareness has grown exponentially. It is not a trend or a fashion, but a need felt by many people who are willing to buy (or at least reward) eco-sustainable, ethical and at the same time economically accessible products. Consumers feel the need to safeguard the planet and use products with low environmental impact, they reward companies that commit themselves to this and penalize those that do not make an effort to study innovative solutions capable of protecting the well-being of the planet.

It is no coincidence that ESSELUNGA has announced that by 2025 all its packaging will be environmentally friendly and will derive from renewable, recycled or certified resources.
