Many consumers look for sustainable packaging that uses recycled and or recyclable materials, because if a business cares enough about the environment, it demonstrates that they probably are more passionate about their product and their people.

“It demonstrates they probably are more passionate about their product and their people.”

Universal Biopack, a manufacturer in Thailand, has made their packaging out of native natural materials – bamboo and cassava. Both are widely grown crops across Thailand and Universal Biopack have helped the environment in a cost-effective way by utilizing the ‘throw-away‘ aspect of these crops in their packaging. The company, having gained support and recognition for this, has even had to increase production. The use of green and reusable packages is becoming more and more important globally. About a ton of trash yearly from each household in the USA is from used packages. This story shows the power of sustainable packaging – it can certainly make a huge difference not only for the company that endorses it, but also for consumers and our planet Earth.
