Many companies are integrating green marketing in their business operations nowadays. And eco-friendly packaging will surely pick up more steam in 2021. Here at ODM, we help companies come up with out-of-the-box packaging concepts that speak to eco-conscious buyers.
The retail industry is one of the major consumers of plastic. The packaging sector alone uses around 35-45 percent of plastic (depending upon the region). This is why it is important to use eco-friendly alternatives to help reduce the use of plastic-based packaging.
So, here are some green packaging ideas you may want to consider for your business.
Green Packaging Concepts for Your Business
Bamboo-Based Packaging
Abundant in Asia and other sub-tropical countries, bamboo grass is fast-growing and does not need special care. Besides being a source of food and construction material, it is also valuable as a packaging material.
We visited a trade show recently and we could not pass up on the chance to take a closer look at these bamboo storage boxes.

What makes these bamboo containers different is that they are much more solid than the above examples. There were wooden chests, circular boxes, and virtually any shape that you can think of.

These packaging ideas would be ideal for tea, spices, jewelry, food, and chocolate as they can seal in the aroma and preserve the quality of these goods. The solid wood body also provides stability to fragile items such as bottles of perfume and wine.
