Pineapple Leaf Packaging

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Sprout' Packaging Has an Organic Design Infused with Seeds

— February 24, 2021 — Eco
Single-use plastic packaging continues to be a big problem on a global scale, so the 'Sprout' packaging has been designed by Pat Mangulabnan as a way to help combat against it. The packaging is envisioned for use with a granola bar and is constructed using pineapple leaves to make it 100% biodegradable. The Pinyapel material is embedded with seeds that encourage consumers to plant the packaging after use to grow plants inside of the unit before being planted in the ground.

The 'Sprout' packaging is printed with organic soy ink to further enhance its eco-friendly nature and is paired with an edible starch wrapper for the snack within to further offer protection during the shipping process.
Trend Themes
1. Biodegradable Packaging - The trend of biodegradable packaging is disrupting the plastic packaging industry by offering an eco-friendly alternative.
2. Seed-embedded Packaging - The use of seed-embedded packaging is an innovative way to encourage consumers to participate in sustainable gardening practices.
3. Sustainable Print Materials - The use of sustainable print materials such as organic soy ink is a growing trend that is helping to reduce waste and promote eco-friendliness.
Industry Implications
1. Packaging Industry - The packaging industry can capitalize on the trend of biodegradable and sustainable packaging materials by developing new products and solutions for their clients.
2. Food Industry - The food industry can use seed-embedded packaging to differentiate their products while also promoting their commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental practices.
3. Printing Industry - The printing industry can embrace sustainable print materials to meet the growing demand of eco-conscious consumers while also reducing their own environmental impact.
