Packaging is "going green" and this provides a new opportunity for you to revitalise your business - maybe even sell your packaging idea to one of the many new green packaging companies. In Canada and the UK, some supermarkets are providing milk in plastic pouches which go into a specially designed and re-useable jug. This uses 75% less packaging and this style of packaging has the potential make a huge saving in landfill sites.
Consider what packaging you are currently using and receiving. If your products arrive in masses of bubble wrap, is there a business in your local area that could take this and re-use it? Do your homework carefully, especially where food is concerned, and investigate the shelf life of some of the new plastics, so that your packaging does not start to break down in transit or leak on shelves after extreme weather fluctuations. Once this is sorted, green packaging has got to be one of the business opportunities of this next decade.
