Presently, with the plastic ban and environmental protection trends, many companies are trying to find new environmentally friendly packaging materials. What are the main environmentally friendly packaging materials?

Kraft paper:

Kraft paper is an environmentally friendly packaging material generally recognized by the public. Kraft paper packaging is 100% recycled and reused, which is an important point that makes kraft paper superior to other packaging materials. Kraft paper will also quickly degrade in the soil and "turn into spring mud to protect flowers." 100% biodegradable. Unlike plastic packaging, which is difficult to degrade and causes "white pollution", it has a devastating impact on the soil and environment.

Biodegradable plastics:

Plastic is difficult to degrade, and there is a lot of plastic waste buried underground that can last for several years without decomposing. Degradable plastic refers to a plastic whose chemical structure changes under a specific environment that causes performance loss within a specific period of time. Developing degradable plastic packaging materials and gradually phasing out non-degradable plastic packaging materials is a major trend in the development of science and technology in the world and one of the hot spots in materials research and development. Since degradable plastics are easy to process and form, and their prices are decreasing day by day, the use of degradable plastics for packaging has increased dramatically. It is currently the most common environmentally friendly food packaging material;

Metal packaging materials

Because metal packaging materials are easy to recycle and process, their waste pollution to the environment is smaller than that of plastic and paper. Commonly used metal packaging materials include tinplate and aluminum, which are widely used in manufacturing food and beverage packaging cans;

Glass packaging materials:

Milk, soft carbonated drinks, wine and jam are commonly packaged in glass containers, and some cooking utensils and tableware are also packaged in glass. The main characteristics of glass packaging materials are beautiful, hygienic, corrosion-resistant, low cost, and they are inert materials with little environmental pollution; their disadvantages are that they are fragile, heavy, and expensive.

Of course, there are other environmentally friendly packaging materials. We will appreciated you to add to them for make them more complete . Thanks for reading.
