Paper bottles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Carlsberg company developed a paper bottle, which revolutionised the sector and opened up <strong>a path of sustainable possibilities<\/strong>. Based on this experience, more and more beverage businesses are joining in with the desire to achieve similar results <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Botellas-de-papel-packaging-sostenible-Johnnie-Walker.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable packaging trends: paper bottles\" class=\"wp-image-19095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Botellas-de-papel-packaging-sostenible-Johnnie-Walker.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Botellas-de-papel-packaging-sostenible-Johnnie-Walker-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Botellas-de-papel-packaging-sostenible-Johnnie-Walker-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the case of Johnnie Walker, which designed its own recyclable bottle, completely <strong>free of toxic materials<\/strong> on its label. On the other hand, the Absolut vodka company has launched a series of 100% recyclable packaging for the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to specialists, this trend can <strong>reduce your carbon footprint<\/strong> by up to 84%. And compared to traditional bottles, it shows that you can achieve great results in caring for the environment <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Packaging_managed_by_Artificial_Intelligence_AI\"><\/span><strong>2. <\/strong><strong><em>Packaging<\/em><\/strong><strong> managed by Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many businesses, selecting the <strong>optimal packaging<\/strong> size <strong>for each product<\/strong> takes a lot of work and time. Especially if you have an organisation that offers goods with different dimensions and characteristics <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this sense, <strong>incorporating<\/strong> <strong>AI solutions<\/strong> will help you define the measurements of your <em>packaging<\/em> with absolute precision. In addition, such systems have the ability to quickly determine how you can leverage your service to include multiple items in the same packaging <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <strong>will make the process more sustainable<\/strong> by reducing materials, gas emissions, waste and transport costs. Definitely an interesting trend to watch out for this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Flexible_surfaces\"><\/span><strong>3. Flexible surfaces<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another trend arriving this season is <em>packaging<\/em> that <strong>can be adapted or moulded<\/strong> to different spaces. And they are not only popular because they are made of environmentally friendly materials, but also because they optimise the transport and storage process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has attracted the attention of a multitude of companies that are turning to <strong>creative and efficient solutions<\/strong>. For example, corrugated paper bags, <em>kraft<\/em> cardboard cones and cylinders and other resources that you should use for your <em>delivery<\/em> services. And the best thing is that it is very affordable in most countries and adapts to different types of budget<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Organic_inks\"><\/span><strong>4. Organic inks <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This group of <em>eco-friendly<\/em> options includes <strong>vegetable in<\/strong> ks that are used for printing products or labels. Their advantage is that when they are discarded, they do not generate toxic compounds that are harmful to nature or human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, soy ink <strong>degrades more easily<\/strong>, spreading more easily to reduce costs and waste. On the other hand, it is an important element to personalise your products and convey the style you want to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Edible_packaging_lines\"><\/span><strong>5. Edible packaging lines<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the taste of a sweet treat can be so delicious that it makes you devour the packaging. No doubt, it&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve all experienced at one time or another. And in fact, this is what the next <strong>sustainable <em>packaging<\/em><\/strong> trend is all about <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lineas-de-envases-comestibles-base-de-algas.jpg\" alt=\"Highly biodegradable packaging with less environmental impact\" class=\"wp-image-19087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lineas-de-envases-comestibles-base-de-algas.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lineas-de-envases-comestibles-base-de-algas-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lineas-de-envases-comestibles-base-de-algas-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most notable material here is <strong>made from algae<\/strong> and is used for sandwich wrappers. Another example can be seen in the form of an eye-catching cup for edible beverages <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is made from non-GMO grains, and its quality allows it to <strong>withstand high temperatures<\/strong> to protect the integrity of the customer. As a result, they will enjoy a great experience that enhances loyalty to your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Plantable_packaging\"><\/span><strong>6. Plantable packaging<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This packaging is created to provide an eye-catching way to take <strong>green to new levels<\/strong>. As your customers will be able to care for nature through a creative approach <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see this in Chocolates Bloom, which revolutionised the market with <strong>the first plantable packaging<\/strong> to suit the tastes of its customers. As a result, mint and orange trees, among many others, were born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, the sustainable company Botanical Paperworks developed a project to make its paper trees popular. When planted, the material would grow into various species of flowers, vegetables or herbs <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Bioplastic_materials\"><\/span><strong>7. Bioplastic materials <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strong trend for food <em>packaging<\/em> and <em>delivery<\/em> services is the use of naturally extracted <strong>biomass packaging<\/strong>. The look and feel of these products are very similar to conventional plastic <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/materiales-bioplasticos.jpg\" alt=\"Bioplastic materials\" class=\"wp-image-19079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/materiales-bioplasticos.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/materiales-bioplasticos-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/materiales-bioplasticos-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, they come from <strong>highly renewable sources<\/strong> that do not impact the environment during extraction, handling and disposal. Among the most commonly used biomass sources are wheat, dairy and animal protein. In fact, many prestigious restaurants in Europe already use bioplastic packaging to reinforce their image of environmental commitment <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, experts claim that the manufacture of these materials <strong>generates less<\/strong> air pollution compared to other <em>packaging<\/em> options. More importantly, they contribute to reducing gas emissions that contribute to global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Replace_the_bubbles_in_your_envelopes\"><\/span><strong>8. Replace the bubbles in your envelopes <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Envelopes made with <strong>a layer of paper and a layer of bubbles<\/strong> degrade in nature with greater difficulty. They are also more difficult to process in recycling plants, as separating their components is a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this respect, some environmentally conscious hospitality companies are opting for <strong>envelopes made entirely of paper<\/strong>. This alternative is very strong and durable, as it has 4 layers bonded together with water-based adhesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the temperature rises, the wall thickness expands to form a protective surface.  Best of all, it achieves <strong>high levels of security<\/strong> in a 100% recyclable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Sustainable_waste\"><\/span><strong>9. Sustainable waste<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an effort to push the <strong>circularity of materials<\/strong> from a wider perspective. Start by taking a close look at the waste you generate, and then determine strategies for reusing it in your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example of success can be found at IKEA, which differentiates itself from its competitors with its <strong>buy-back service<\/strong>. This consists of giving redeemable coupons for each piece of old furniture brought in by customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Corona recently developed a new packaging made from <strong>recycled wood fibre<\/strong> and barley. The interesting thing is that this was the main waste produced by the brewery in the production of its products. And the best thing is that they obtained a sustainable material that uses less water, energy and chemicals with high levels of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Emerging_materials\"><\/span><strong>10. Emerging materials <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits of <strong>biodegradable, compostable and recycled<\/strong> materials are widely appreciated by the hospitality industry. In fact, they are already part of our everyday lives. For that reason, they have made their way into European legislation and into the preferences of millions of customers <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, <strong>emerging sustainable materials<\/strong> are coming with authority to position themselves among the most widely used options. This is the case for cellulose, bamboo fibre, sugar cane, and <em>kraft<\/em> cellulose packaging among many others <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, some presentations resemble the transparency of plastic and are a sustainable solution for the foodservice sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Minimalism\"><\/span><strong>11. Minimalism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more people are rejecting the option of using disposable bags and packaging because of their desire to go back to the basics. Instead, they <strong>prefer to bring their own packaging<\/strong> and thus strengthen their ecological vision <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and how does this new behaviour benefit you? This is an opportunity to reduce the costs associated with <em>packaging<\/em> and to dynamise other production processes in your company <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undoubtedly, a <strong>gastronomic trend <\/strong>that you should not miss <strong><em>packaging<\/em><\/strong><strong> recyclable eco-friendly<\/strong> trend that you should not miss out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Touch_vintage\"><\/span><strong>12. Touch <\/strong><strong><em>vintage<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a behaviour that <strong>began its growth in decoration<\/strong>, and is currently reflected in packaging, plates and glasses. To implement it, you will have to capture a classic style with elements that rescue the elegance of other times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencia-Packaging-sostenible.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable paper and board packaging\" class=\"wp-image-19031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencia-Packaging-sostenible.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencia-Packaging-sostenible-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencia-Packaging-sostenible-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use light natural tones, with an aesthetic similar to the texture of wood, ceramics and subtle landscapes without overloading. Undoubtedly, it is a trend that has been firmly maintained and <strong>enjoys wide popularity<\/strong> in the restoration industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Options_for_packaging_reusable\"><\/span><strong>13. Options for <\/strong><strong><em>packaging<\/em><\/strong><strong> reusable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being sustainable is not only about going for materials that degrade easily in nature without the help of man. It is also about the opportunity to reuse as much as you can to <strong>produce less waste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take this opportunity to start a <strong>line of reusable packaging<\/strong> that your customers can take home. It would be best to invest in items such as PET plastic, cardboard or glass with self-closing systems for a better experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Use_of_mono-materials\"><\/span><strong>14.

This strategy consists of selecting only one type of raw material for your service, and replacing packaging that combines several elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, larger companies are promoting the use of mono-materials, and it seems that this preference will continue to grow. So, you have a great opportunity to put your <strong>new sustainable values<\/strong> into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Compostable_bags_to_carry_your_goods\"><\/span><strong>15. Compostable bags to carry your goods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compostable products are those that degrade with human accompaniment to produce compost or other beneficial products. Today, this trend has become a movement in the sustainable packaging sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencias-packaging-sostenible.jpg\" alt=\"Reusable and recyclable materials\" class=\"wp-image-19039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencias-packaging-sostenible.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencias-packaging-sostenible-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tendencias-packaging-sostenible-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, to keep up with market demands you should <strong>incorporate compostable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/paper-bags-1469\">paper bags<\/a><\/strong>, properly identifying their attributes. This will have an interesting effect on your consumers, who will feel proud to contribute to the protection of nature <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This alternative is very environmentally friendly and will continue to grow over the next few years. So incorporate them in your services, taking care that they come from <strong>certified suppliers<\/strong> to ensure the processes and their origin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Protect_with_honeycomb_cardboard\"><\/span><strong>16. Protect with honeycomb cardboard<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a fact that this material, used to manufacture boxes and other packaging components, <strong>continues to gain a following<\/strong>. When compared to other sustainable packaging, it will bring you greater environmental benefits <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, its raw material is recycled paper, making it a naturally sustainable alternative. Moreover, introducing it into new production cycles is <strong>economical and much more efficient<\/strong> than most of its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, it has a great capacity to protect the contents of the boxes and works as a great heat insulator. This <strong>gives customers peace of mind<\/strong>, knowing that the goods will be in the best condition for transport. Importantly, its proven quality in the agricultural and sanitary sector makes it a highly efficient use of its attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Antibacterial_packaging\"><\/span><strong>17. Antibacterial packaging<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food and beverage industry has to deal with perishable products and the <strong>increased likelihood of spoilage<\/strong>. This has led to a great deal of research to determine which packaging is most efficient for such goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added to this is the importance of <strong>reducing food waste<\/strong> to eliminate global hunger. Especially in a globalised world, where consumption patterns have resulted in tons of organic matter ending up in landfills <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this regard, it is important to opt for essential oils for their natural <strong>disinfectant qualities<\/strong>. In addition, there are seafood-based polymer structures that have shown great efficiency in counteracting the effects of degrading micro-organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Sustainable_packaging_with_technology\"><\/span><strong>18. Sustainable packaging with technology <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By placing QR codes on the surface of your packaging, you can convey more information to your customers. From the place of origin, ingredients, linked suppliers and much more. As a result, <strong>you include<\/strong> <strong>the story behind the product<\/strong> to satisfy the needs of the most demanding customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although this technology has lost followers in other industries, it is still <strong>starting to make its way in the <\/strong><strong><em>packaging<\/em><\/strong>. The limit of its digital applications is only conditioned by your creativity <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is demonstrated by Toks Restaurants, who print QR codes on their wrappers to track their projects. Likewise, Pepsi established an alliance with some artists to promote the <em>Gift it Forward <\/em>campaign. This consists of <strong>a<\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong>code to direct their prizes<\/strong> and thus maintain a closer contact with the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_Digital_labels\"><\/span><strong>19. Digital labels <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another trend this year is to put <strong>smart digital labels<\/strong> on your food <em>packaging<\/em>. This way, diners will have instant access to the status of your products to check if they are fit for consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is certainly a <strong>technological break<\/strong> through for the sector and will project you above your competitors. Because the shopping experience will reach places they didn&#8217;t know about before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the best thing is that these are <strong>universal elements<\/strong>. That is, they can easily be applied to other packaging such as cosmetic and pharmaceutical bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Packaging_customisable_to_communicate_sustainability\"><\/span><strong>20. <\/strong><strong><em>Packaging<\/em><\/strong><strong> customisable to communicate sustainability<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actual sustainability of a business is a bit tricky to convey, as it <strong>depends on the credibility<\/strong> of the brand. And when it comes to products purchased in a digital shop it is even more difficult, as you can&#8217;t touch them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-sostenible.jpg\" alt=\"Fully customisable packaging that allows for fewer layers of packaging\" class=\"wp-image-19023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-sostenible.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-sostenible-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-sostenible-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, companies that design and manufacture packaging are challenged to come up with new ways of <strong>communicating their values<\/strong>. The trend is to print messages on the surface of boxes about the importance of caring for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining this with the design and colours of your boxes influences <strong>the desire to buy<\/strong> through empathy. Since the number of people who want to join in the conservation of the planet continues to grow, they will feel close to the message <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We end this interesting <em>post<\/em> about the new <strong>trends in sustainable packaging<\/strong> and how you can take advantage of them in your catering business.
