Almost every retail product in the market needs some packaging according to its demand. For that packaging, many unique types of packaging materials are present in the market. All these materials have their advantages, and it can secure the product with its unique features. But something that does not grab the attention generally is their drawbacks. These packaging materials are harming the environment in several ways. Plastic and paperboard both have their imperfections and extreme effects on nature.
First, coming to the disreputable plastic. Who does not know what it is affecting our oceans and wildlife or nature? God knows how many animals die every day, obstructing on the plastic we so hugely and proudly use. Every day, we see news on social media of animals dying because of the pathetic human behavior in the oceans, forests, and everywhere else.
Apart from the harm to animals, thousands of acres of land are filled with hundreds of plastic rubble feet. That land could be used for better purposes instead, but we select to continue on the material that is more of a slow poison for the Earth.
So, plastic is the wrong choice, but it is not alone in this consideration. Cardboard is another opponent of nature. Even though cardboard is much less harmful than plastic because of its eco-friendly nature, it is still hazardous. Several times, cardboard packaging has a plastic lining making it non-recyclable, which is harmful.
To make cardboard or paperboard, plenty of wood pulp is needed, which comes from cutting down trees and forests, destroying nature, plus many animals are losing their habitats. In addition to the cutting of forests, the material also needs a lot of water in the manufacturing process. Cardboard is not much of a recyclable item as It is recyclable to only a definite proportion.
So, when both packaging materials are not suitable for Earth, we need a packaging material that is the solution to the problem. Such a solution already exists in the shape of Kraft material. This material is an authentic packaging material for all types of products for which we use plastic and cardboard packaging. Thus, moving to these packaging boxes is not hard at all. Although there are some restrictions to the material as it provides a lesser number of customization choices, its exceptional nature-friendly more than compensates for the small compromise.
Kraft material is created of chemical pulp, and a significant part of it comes from recycled sources. These brown packaging boxes do not need as many resources as plastic and cardboard do. It is the main advantage of Kraft’s material over both of its opponents. But as I said, it is an exceptional eco-friendly packaging, so there is a lot more than lesser resource usage. It has great market demand, especially in the food industry.
Recyclable Nature
These packaging boxes are not only developed of recyclable material but are recyclable themselves too. Because of their recyclable identity, many great foods and selling brands have been using this packaging material for a long time. It helps the environment and allows your brand to make an eco-friendly impression of your brand.
Biodegradability
Biodegradability is something that we do not generally prefer before selecting packaging, but it is something very crucial. Biodegradable means something that decomposes over time and becomes a part of nature again, and reduces waste. This feature is an essential aspect of Kraft packaging boxes. It is such a significant benefit that if plastic were biodegradable, there wouldn’t have been the plastic issues in the seas, nor would there be the plastic bundles today we see deposited in the city dumps. Kraft packaging boxes are biodegradable and secure, which means these packaging boxes retrieve to becoming a part of nature.
Reusability
Kraft packaging boxes are also reusable, as there are many DIY activities you can do with these packaging boxes. Many people on the net help to use these packaging boxes to create innovative things out of them. So, you can do many other things with these packaging later rather than storing your stuff in the cellar. You can engage with your kids by helping them make a science and art & craft project by using Kraft box.
One Little Settlement with Kraft Boxes
Kraft packaging boxes are stunning and one of the best packaging materials out there, but you have to make one little settlement with these packaging boxes. These packaging boxes as much customizability as the other packaging materials. Plastic is highly customizable; cardboard is the second one, and Kraft is customizable in printing and finishing choices. The rough surface of Kraft boxes serves lesser printing choices. But with all the other features, it is still the perfect packaging material in the market.
Further, with Kraft, limited is more. So, don’t worry; you can still get a solid appearance with these packaging boxes. Many famous brands have done this; you can get it too.
