Sustainable & Renewable Packaging

.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?

Sustainable and renewable packaging suppliers produce packaging materials made from renewable, recycled, or biodegradable sources, including paper-based, compostable, and mono-material alternatives to conventional plastics. The suppliers below serve manufacturers looking to reduce packaging waste or meet recyclability requirements across European markets.

What Sustainable & Renewable Packaging suppliers provide

Suppliers in this category develop and produce packaging materials from renewable, recycled, or biodegradable sources: paper and cardboard alternatives to plastic, compostable films, mono-material structures designed for easier recycling, and packaging made with recycled plastic or fiber content. Their core competence lies in balancing material performance, such as barrier properties, strength, and printability, against recyclability or biodegradability targets. Many suppliers also provide guidance on regulatory compliance and end-of-life handling for their materials. In the pre-selection phase, compare which material types, recyclability claims, and industries each supplier specialises in rather than individual product specifications.

Relevant standards

Packaging design and material choices in this category are assessed against the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC), which sets essential requirements for reducing packaging volume and improving recyclability. Supplier quality and environmental management is typically certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between renewable and recycled packaging materials?
Renewable materials, such as paper or plant-based plastics, are derived from replenishable sources. Recycled materials are made from reprocessed waste packaging or other materials. Suppliers may offer one, the other, or both.

Does sustainable packaging meet the same performance requirements as conventional packaging?
This depends on the application. Confirm barrier, strength, and shelf-life performance against your specific product requirements before shortlisting, as material substitution can affect these properties.
