Sustainability in packaging has been gaining prominence as concerns are growing over packaging waste. Sustainable packaging solutions are free from toxic materials and are a safe and healthy alternative to materials such as plastics. Good quality eco-friendly packaging can also help in reducing storage space and transportation costs.
