Just using eco-friendly paper and eco-friendly printing options does not mean that these are the only processes that favor the environment. Packaging is one of the factors that contribute towards degradation of the environment. There are many industries that use glue for packaging. This should be avoided as glue consists of harmful elements like acrylics, polyurethane, vinyl acetates and co-polymer emulsions.
Go Glueless! This is one of the best eco-friendly measures to be followed while packaging. If the packaging content is in less quantity, one can opt for sticking tape which does not contain much harmful elements. Similarly one can also use paperclips as well as staples for packaging. One can also use a CD package promotional piece which folds neatly and thus eliminates the need for glue products. Overabundance of packaging material is another worry related to packaging. This should be avoided and especially packaging with glue in this case should be avoided.
There are many instances where glue fails to stick or bind properly. This improper packaging will harm the packed material causing great damages. To avoid this damage one can also go with the corrugated boxes that are made from recycled paper. As the corrugated boxes are made from recycled paper, they are environment friendly and the corrugated packaging helps to Go Glueless!
