If you are interested in packaging for your product that is recyclable and resealable, you probably have many questions. Are plastic pouches recyclable? Some are and some aren’t, so you should do some research on the manufacturer before making a purchasing decision. Once you find a packaging company that offers recyclable pouches, you can take advantage of many benefits. Here are the top five.
1. Providing Added Convenience
Custom stand-up pouches are convenient for you. They’re versatile enough to be used in almost any industry, and they don’t take up much space, so you can store your inventory more efficiently and save on storage costs.
Resealable pouches are also convenient for your customers, who can seal up your product and carry it around in a pocket, handbag, or briefcase without having to worry about it spilling or leaking. Recycling the pouches is fairly easy as well, and becoming easier all the time.
2. Preventing Waste
Obviously, using recyclable packaging is going to cut down on the waste that ends up in landfills if consumers do their part and dispose of the packaging properly. However, resealable packaging also prevents perishable products from going bad by sealing out oxygen and moisture, keeping the contents fresh longer. As a result, consumers don’t have to dispose of unused portions that went bad before they had a chance to use them. This saves consumers money and gives them good value for their money.
3. Reducing Packaging Cost
Custom sachet packaging made from recycled materials doesn’t require as much processing as those made from virgin materials. Therefore, they do not cost as much to produce. This translates to savings on your part because you can package your materials for less. You can also pass the savings along to your customers, who are likely to appreciate it.
Using flexible, eco-friendly packaging can also reduce your transportation costs because the packaging is more lightweight and you don’t have to use as much of it. This can mean additional savings for your company.
4. Conserving Resources
Flexible packaging and packaging made of recycled materials use less water and fossil fuels to manufacture because they require less processing and they don’t use virgin materials that have to be extracted from the ground. This helps to conserve limited resources.
Flexible packaging made of recyclable materials also emits fewer carbon compounds than rigid plastic packaging made of virgin materials. Fewer greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere help to reduce global warming and climate change.
5. Connecting With Customers
As awareness about the need for sustainability increases, more consumers are making buying decisions based on the environmental friendliness of the company. Recyclable flexible packaging communicates to potential customers that you share their values and their concerns about the environment. It demonstrates that your company is deserving of their trust. Once consumers find a company that they can trust, they keep coming back to purchase from them, developing brand loyalty in the process.
While it’s not always easy going green at first, the long-term benefits to you and your customers make the extra effort worth it.
