Why Sustainable Packaging Matters & How It Helps the Planet

Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills and oceans, much of it coming from product packaging. Traditional packaging—especially in the hygiene and personal care industry—is often single-use plastic, which takes hundreds of years to break down. At othercare, we believe that what’s inside the package is just as important as how it’s packaged. By choosing sustainable packaging, we can reduce waste, lower carbon footprints, and protect our planet for future generations.

 

The Problem with Traditional Packaging

 

🚮 Plastic Pollution is a Global Crisis

 

- Over 380 million tons of plastic are produced every year, with only 9% being recycled.
- Plastic waste pollutes oceans, harming marine life and disrupting ecosystems.
- Microplastics from packaging end up in our food, water, and even the air we breathe.

 

💨 High Carbon Footprint

 

- Producing traditional plastic packaging requires fossil fuels and releases greenhouse gases. 
- The transportation of heavy, bulky packaging contributes to higher carbon emissions.

 

🗑️ Most Packaging is Single-Use

 

- Once opened, most packaging goes straight into the trash.
- Many personal care and hygiene products come in non-recyclable plastic that ends up in landfills.

 

How Sustainable Packaging Makes a Difference

 

🌍 Reduces Waste & Pollution

- Biodegradable materials break down naturally, preventing long-term environmental damage.
- Recyclable and compostable packaging means less waste in landfills.

💚 Lower Carbon Footprint

- Plant-based materials like bamboo and cornstarch require fewer resources to produce.
- Refillable and reusable containers cut down on unnecessary production and waste.

🔄 Encourages a Circular Economy

- Recyclable materials can be repurposed into new products, reducing the need for virgin plastic.- 
Minimalist packaging designs reduce excess material usage.
