A Worldwide Focus
As brand managers we know you’re constantly striving for sustainable flexible packaging solutions. That’s why Amgraph has focused on offering sustainable flexible packaging solutions since our founding in 1984. We believe it’s the future of flexible packaging and our corporate responsibility. We’re not alone in our mission.
The Australian Institute of Packaging introduced a course on Sustainable Packaging Design. This course covered such topics as…
- practical guidelines and criteria needed to design and develop sustainable packaging
- use of non-renewable resources, plant-based bioplastics, compostable and recycled materials
- current environmental issues that are impacting the producers of packaging and the manufacturers and retailers of packaged product
- case studies and samples of current products being used by participants
Key in this training was the understanding of the recycling process from material recovery to use of sustainable packaging. It’s important to understand the differences between renewable, recyclable and compostable as well as the feasibility to incorporate these options into the packaging process.
There are also training options closer to home.
