Foreword: What is Organic Packaging?

When we think of organic packaging, we think of materials that respect the environment. But that’s not all. Throughout its life cycle, this material must also honour a promise. Whether it’s made from renewable raw materials, designed to be biodegradable or even compostable, its composition, manufacturing process and degradation all play a part.

Here’s why organic packaging can be all or part :

• biosourced (made from natural, renewable materials)
• biodegradable (controlled process, treatment and energy required)
• compostable (natural decomposition by microorganisms)

Why Opt for Organic Packaging?

For professionals and consumers alike, organic packaging demonstrates a commitment to sustainability. As well as complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it also means reducing our ecological footprint. What’s more, customers and partners now expect companies to move towards ecological and responsible solutions. In terms of market share and competitiveness, you’ve (also) guessed it…

Organic Packaging: Which Ones to Choose for Your Company?

Among the most promising bioplastics, PHA stands out. This biopolymer has technical and environmental characteristics that make it an ideal candidate for organic packaging. For flexible or rigid packaging: Polyhydroxyalkanoates has the answer!

Bioplastics: The Right Response to Packaging Challenges

Bioplastics are made from natural resources such as biomass. From their design to their deterioration, they are the ideal, and increasingly used, alternative for organic packaging. These different types of bioplastics are designed to be biodegradable (or even compostable), thereby reducing plastic pollution. Less oil and less waste: helping the planet and its inhabitants.

PHA: A Designated Material for Organic Packaging

But what is PHA? This bioplastic is obtained by fermenting organic matter using microorganisms. This biopolymer is entirely biodegradable in a variety of environments, including the marine environment. This distinguishes it from its cousins, which require specific conditions to decompose (temperature, oxygen, humidity, etc.). It degrades rapidly, without toxic residue, making it the material of choice for organic packaging.

Organic Packaging: PHA Applications

PHA is remarkably versatile in the organic packaging sector. This biocompatible material is non-toxic to humans, so there are no risks for food, medical technology or cosmetics. From agriculture to consumer goods, the automotive industry, fashion and electronics, it can be used to make :

• bioplastic trash bags
• boxes
• bottles
• cling film
• single-use cups
• trays
• rigid containers

Organic Packaging and Sustainable Development

The development of organic packaging, particularly PHA-based, is part of a global ecological approach. Unlike fossil-based plastics, which take hundreds of years to degrade, PHA degrades rapidly, reducing the pressure on natural ecosystems. This accelerated decomposition also reduces the amount of waste to be processed and the resources required.

What Does the Future Hold for Organic Packaging?

The integration of organic packaging, and PHA in particular, contributes to more responsible resource management. Companies can thus align themselves with the objectives of reducing their carbon footprint, while anticipating the growing demands of regulators and consumers in terms of sustainable practices. So, what brand image do you want to project?
