[NB] 3 tips for more sustainable packaging in 2025

As we enter 2025, it’s more important than ever to think about sustainable packaging. With growing awareness of the environmental impact of plastics and other non-renewable materials, there is a strong need for businesses and consumers to take responsibility for reducing waste and promoting sustainable solutions. By starting the year with a focus on sustainable packaging, we can help reduce our carbon footprint, conserve natural resources and create a greener future for generations to come. In this article, we’ll share three simple yet effective tips to make your packaging more sustainable in 2025.

Tip 1: Use 100% recycled and recyclable packaging

By using packaging that is 100% recycled and recyclable, you are helping to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. This is an important step towards a more sustainable future, as it minimises the need for new raw materials and reduces environmental impact.

Examples of RAJA products:

• Recycled filling material in dispenser box: Excellent impact protection for products and for filling voids.

• Bubble wrap of recycled paper: Impact is absorbed by the air between two layers of embossed paper.

Tip 2: Minimise the void in your packages to become more sustainable

Minimising the void space in packages helps reduce the need for extra filling material and makes packages more compact. This will lead to lower transport costs and less environmental impact, as more orders can be shipped at the same time.

Examples of RAJA products:

• Boxes of simple corrugated cardboard: Perfect for packaging, protecting and transporting lighter products.

• Self-adhesive postal boxes with automatic bottom: Quick to assemble, while the box offers great protection.

Tip 3: Look for new, environmentally responsible alternatives to the packaging you use today

By continuously searching for new and environmentally responsible alternatives, you can stay on top of the latest sustainable solutions and implement them in your packaging practices. This also demonstrates a commitment to the environment and can strengthen your company’s reputation.

Examples of RAJA products:

• E-commerce bags made of kraft paper: The bags have self-adhesive closures and are available in many formats.

• Brown self-adhesive covers: With grooves that make it easy to adjust the height according to the product.

By implementing these three tips for more sustainable packaging in 2025, you can help reduce your environmental impact and promote a greener future. Remember that small changes can make a big difference, and by choosing sustainable packaging solutions, you’re showing a commitment to the environment that both your customers and business partners will appreciate.
