Smart designs for a sustainable, circular future
Redesigning Paper and Packaging for a Circular and Sustainable Economy
The utmost focus on production with minimum environmental consequences has triggered companies to work on their footprints. Plastics’ detrimental effects are one of the leading causes of environmental degradation, and their use has escalated significantly with the increase in productive skills. Almost for all FMCG products, sustainable and modern packaging has become a crucial challenge for manufacturers.
The rising demand for sustainable packaging, increasing inclination to hygiene and personal healthcare, and an exponential increase in online shopping have spurred the packaging segment to a new life. The demand for emission reduction, sustainable materials, recycling practices, and non-wood pulp remains a big challenge for this sector. Companies need to look beyond recyclability and address other bigger issues like optimized water consumption, pollution reduction, energy efficiency, and better waste disposal.
The sustenance and progress of this industry also depend on the rational adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics to manage supply chains and the implementation of predictive maintenance technologies for cost control.
