The misconception that flexible packaging cannot be recycled is leading some to poor environmental choices , fortunately , things are changing .
Stephen Langstaff , Business Development Manager , Packaging at Innovia Films highlights “ Last year ’ s COP26 summit reminded us of the importance of reducing our carbon footprint . Food production is a major contributor to global warming and resource efficient packaging plays a vital role in reducing the carbon impact by reducing waste and extending shelf life . The carbon footprint of packaging is usually comparatively small when compared to the product it is wrapping . This is one of the big advantages of flexible packaging . Due to its light weight , it is far more resource efficient than cans , bottles , tubs , or trays ”.
