Rigid and Flexible Packaging – Which Packaging is Greener

1 07 2010

Which packaging type is greener – rigid or flexible.  For the most part rigid packaging is derived from paper products while flexible packaging is made of plastic films.  At a first glance, one would think that rigid packaging is more green, but there are many factors to consider including:

-         Markets

-         Materials Used

-         Cost to Produce

-         Shelf-Life Considerations

-         Disposal

-         Marketing

I’ve recently written an article for publication in the Adhesives & Sealant Council organization (asccouncil.org) website, take a look and share your thoughts on this subject.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
