PACKAGING


particularly paper-based systems, are gaining attention because they align more closely with household recycling infrastructure and reduce consumer confusion. eComPack’s all-paper  movement toward simpler, more recyclable packaging solutions. Importantly, sustainability must be


balanced with performance. Packaging that fails to protect products adequately can lead to increased returns, damage and waste, undermining environmental gains.
