If there is one thing about consumer culture that really rubs people the wrong way, it has to be the amount of wasted material; that is one reason why eco plastic packaging is becoming a focal point for designers and companies alike. It is on way to not only be kinder to the environment, but also potentially save money while connecting with customers in a more meaningful way.
This collection of eco plastic packaging focuses not only on biodegradable materials, but also plant-based ones. Interestingly, the adoption of such environmentally friendly packaging helps to elevate the brand in an unexpected way. People often associate health with eco-friendly products, so that view can easily be transferred to food, skincare and more.
