The Latest Innovations in Recyclable Packaging Materials

Recycling packaging is evolving quickly, with lots of clever ideas being pursued to make it more planet-friendly. Consumers want packaging that not only safeguards products but can be reused or readily transformed into new materials. Some of the latest models are made with plants, not plastic, or combine materials so they decompose quicker. That’s good news for stores and businesses that want to be friendlier to nature, without sacrificing quality. Dongyiyuan is paying close attention to the changes and making every effort to deliver more perfect new recyclable packaging ideas to customers. Who wouldn’t want to save precious resources with a trip to an office recycling bin or the building’s compost pile? Which is why these new materials aim to be simple but strong. It’s just small potatoes, but every package not in the trash adds up. 

What are the new trends in recyclable packaging materials for wholesaler purchasers? 

Wholesale buyers want a package that can endure multiple uses, and they are paying attention to new recyclable materials. For one, there’s biodegradable plastic, derived from corn or sugarcane. This type of plastic appears to be and feels like normal plastic, except it decomposes rapidly when thrown away properly. It’s so good for food containers and other bags because it keeps things fresh, is nontoxic to the environment. Dongyiyuan has discovered that many buyers appreciate this, as it reduces waste without requiring changes to how products are packed or shipped. Another new material is molded fiber, which is produced from recycled paper or plant fibers. It is strong and can be molded into trays, boxes or protective pads. You can buy it in large sheets and cut or shape it as you wish, which makes it good for wholesale orders. This type of recyclable flexible packaging is easy to recycle just like regular paper waste so sorting at recycling centers is easier. And some business use coatings derived from natural waxes or oils, rather than plastic layers. That coating helps to keep out moisture, but nevertheless still allows the entire package to degrade. Dongyiyuan observed that wholesale buyers liked how this limits the use of mixed materials, which are difficult to recycle. 

There’s also an increase in reusable packaging designs that involve containers being cleaned and returned for re-use. This is already a popular practice in some markets, but it’s becoming more prevalent due to the huge waste reductions. It’s a boon for wholesale buyers who need to sell fresh foods or liquids, since the Max eliminates waste and can be used over and over. Dongyiyuan has experimented with these concepts and those efforts have led to savings for customers over time, even if the upfront cost was more. Another emerging trend involves packaging made from algae or mushrooms. These materials grow quickly and require minimal water or chemicals. They decompose, and can even help soil if composted. While these alternatives remain nascent, they hint at a future for wholesale buyers in search of cutting-edge, green packaging. 

Where to source advanced recyclable packaging from wholesale suppliers? 

It can be a challenge to find good suppliers for these new packaging materials, but it is indeed possible if you know where to look. Dongyiyuan is linked to several producers that specialize in recyclable packaging materials. These vendors tend to have many options, ranging from basic recyclable cartons to new really cool bio-plastics. Purchasing in large quantities it is crucial to make sure that the suppliers can fulfill your volumes and deliver on time. Dongyiyuan always advises requesting samples up front to help get a sense of how the packaging feels and performs. Some suppliers are best suited to businesses that require custom sizes or shapes which can keep costs low and unnecessary boxes out of the landfill. It’s also smart to communicate directly with the supplier about your specific needs, say wanting materials that will break down quickly or can be reused. 

How to Select the Best Recyclable Packaging Materials for Large Orders? 

In order to purchase packaging materials in bulk, you should choose the best recyclable material. Recyclable packaging refers to material that can be reused to create new products, rather than trash. This is of course beneficial for the earth because it saves resources and reduce waste. Quality Recyclables are very difficult to find so a great bulk is perfect for ordering. You first want to see what the packaging is composed of. Some products can be made into new ones, like paper, cardboard and some plastics, more easily than others. Opt for materials that can be recycled by most recycling programs to do your best to keep them out of landfills. Second, consider whether the packaging is strong and safe. When you purchase in bulk, packages have to safeguard multiple items during transport and storage.
