About green packaging

What Green Packaging Means

Green packaging refers to materials and processes that are recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable, and do not harm the environment or human health over their entire life cycle. It aligns with the circular economy principle of reduction, reuse, and recycling.

Why Green Packaging Is Required

End customers and regulatory bodies are increasingly restricting or rejecting plastic packaging due to environmental concerns. This creates a need for alternatives that meet recycling standards and reduce plastic waste.

How Kraft Paper Supports Green Packaging

Kraft paper is a key material in green packaging because it is made from wood pulp, has high strength, and can be recycled with paper and cardboard. It is available in weights from 80 to 120 gsm and is typically yellowish brown, cream, or white depending on the degree of bleaching.

Green Packaging in Industrial Use

Industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, and consumer goods use large volumes of flexible packaging. Transitioning from plastic films to kraft paper reduces environmental impact and supports compliance with green packaging requirements.

Converting Kraft Paper In-House

Packaging producers can convert kraft paper reels into protective packaging like honeycomb paper, paper bubble, or pre-opened bags on a roll using dedicated machinery. This allows them to control material costs and reduce reliance on finished rolls from third parties.

Environmental Benefits of Paper-Based Packaging

Paper-based packaging avoids plastic pollution, reduces carbon footprint, and fits into existing paper recycling streams. It supports the goal of minimizing environmental impact across the product life cycle.
