Sustainable Eco Packaging
As a society, we're not going to stop packaging and sending goods across countries and continents, but we only have one planet. So, the way we do it has to be sustainable; we need to be able to produce packaging without depleting resources and harming our delicate ecosystems.
Sustainable packaging, or eco-friendly packaging materials, offers a range of benefits. It minimises environmental impact during production, supports responsible resource use, and can usually be recycled or reused. You'll see words such as sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable used in association with eco-friendly postal packaging.
How to Choose the Best Sustainable Packaging for Your Needs
Selecting the most appropriate sustainable packaging for your needs involves considering protection, shipping requirements, environmental impact, and cost. Here's how you can approach it:
- Consider your product type - fragile or heavy items need corrugated cardboard or cushioning to prevent damage.
- Assess shipping needs - longer shipping routes may need stronger packaging, and carrier regulations may restrict which packaging type you can use.
- Factor in budget - there are different types of sustainable packaging, from cost-effective solutions to premium packaging for more fragile items.

FAQs
Is Challenge Packaging carbon neutral?
Do you manufacture your packaging products?
Of course - we repurpose cardboard waste produced during the manufacturing process into more products.
Sustainable: This refers to the performance of the packaging in general in relation to the environment. Sustainable packaging should have been produced in a way that isn’t harming the planet (such as from recycled materials, and using water-based inks), and can be used again, broken down to create something new, or biodegrade safely.
