ENVIRONMENTLY PACKAGING IN RAW MATERIAL

Environmentally friendly packaging is mainly dependent on the material used, from which raw material, and how it is obtained. Our overview shows you what the sustainable and resource-saving products from SM Custom Packaging are made of.

When a product or an activity is considered sustainable depends on a large number of factors. To mark environmentally friendly transport and dispatch packaging for you, we at SM Custom Packaging have precisely defined the terms “sustainable” and “resource-saving.” An essential characteristic for us is your raw material.

Wood paper and cardboard

Wood has become an integral part of the packaging industry as a raw material – whether products are made directly or its fibers are processed into paper, corrugated cardboard, or cardboard. Since the raw material grows again and is CO 2 -neutral, it protects the environment. In addition, forest certifications certify that a wood product comes from sustainably managed forests. SM Custom Packaging is also PEFC ™ and FSC ® certified and offers such articles. Paper, corrugated cardboard, etc., can also be recycled very quickly after they have been used.

Grass

Not only is the wood used as the basis for the paper, but fibers from grass can also be further processed. Production requires fewer resources, and the raw material grows regionally and very quickly speaks for its ecological balance. Grass paper of this kind currently consists of up to 50% grass fibers, to which “classic” wood fibers – whether fresh or recycled – are added for more excellent stability.

Plant starch

Anyone who thinks that plastic is only made from petroleum is mistaken Plastic granules can also be obtained from plant starch. Maize or potatoes, for example, and thus a renewable raw material serve as the basis for this.

Cell glass

Another “renewable plastic” is cell glass. Made from cellulose, the material looks like plastic but also has properties like paper. Cell glass can be used, for example. B. crumple up.

Hemp

Hemp is a natural material for insulating goods and has a similar protective effect as EPS. In addition, the plant is particularly sustainable when grown, as it hardly needs any fertilizer, proliferates, and can be almost 100 percent recycled. Nonwovens can then be made from the fibers, which rot on the compost after they are used.

RPET

Since PET is straightforward to recycle, the plastic is also reused for packaging, thus conserving resources. Drink bottles made of PET, for example, serve as the basis; after cleaning, they are crushed and processed into granules. This production requires less energy than new goods, and the CO 2 emissions are also lower. In addition, because PET is of very high quality even when recycled, it can even be reprocessed several times.
