Let us Understand Sustainable Jewellery Packaging
Do you know what sustainable jewellery packaging entails?
Most jewellery packaging mixes multiple materials together so whilst many believe using 100% recyclable or raw materials allows the product to be recycled. The fact that they are mixed together means they cannot be recycled. Therefore, the goal should be to make the jewellery packaging degradable, modular (so it can be recycled) and/or re-useable.
While some persons think sustainability implies higher cost, you can manage your expenses by using eco-friendly jewellery packaging that helps you maintain quality and still achieve the necessary function.
Let’s explore some tips for sustainable jewellery packaging for better eco-friendliness. Consider these tips before selecting the necessary materials for product packaging.
- Choose materials that are plastic free and naturally degradable. You should be able to put that jewelery box in a compost heap and for it to degrade in 1 year
- Choose materials that are independently certified by third parties. For example “FSC sustainable paper” or “PCF – processed chlorine free. Too many brands think that using a recycled paper is sustainable without questioning how and where the paper is recycled.
- Try to avoid using too many materials. The more materials that are used, the harder it will be to recycle
; - Seek alternatives to single-use plastics for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging.
