Biodegradable plastics
In 2024, biodegradable plastics are being developed as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. These plastics are designed to break down into natural elements, reducing their environmental impact.
Mushroom packaging
Mushroom packaging, also known as mycelium packaging, is a biodegradable and compostable packaging material made from agricultural waste and mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. It is gaining popularity as a sustainable packaging solution.
Edible packaging
Edible packaging is a novel approach to sustainable packaging, where the packaging itself can be consumed along with the food or beverage it contains. This reduces waste and provides a unique eco-friendly solution.
Reusable packaging
In 2024, there is a growing trend towards reusable packaging solutions, such as glass jars, metal tins, and fabric bags. These options reduce the need for single-use packaging and promote a circular economy.
