Uncover the key sustainability trends set to shape packaging and labelling in 2025 and beyond. Learn how your business can adopt eco-friendly solutions, minimise its environmental impact, and lead the way toward a more sustainable future. The packaging and labelling industry is undergoing a deep transformation, with sustainability at the heart of this shift. Sustainable packaging is no longer just a game-changer—it’s a non-negotiable for the future of your business.
Carbon tracking/optimisation to transform manufacturing
Tracking carbon output across the entire value chain, including upstream and downstream processes, is essential for understanding the source of your business’ emissions. This comprehensive approach will enable companies to identify improvement areas, implement targeted strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, and uncover inefficiencies in transportation and manufacturing, leading to much more optimised logistics and more sustainable practices. The holistic approach not only helps in minimising environmental impact but also massively enhances corporate accountability and transparency. By demonstrating a commitment to reducing emissions, your business can strengthen brand reputation, foster customer loyalty, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.
Reusability to drive upcycling
As our natural resources become scarcer and waste levels are on the rise, closing the loop between waste and resources is more important than ever. By focusing on reusability, lots of businesses can reduce environmental impact, conserve valuable resources, and ensure long-term sustainability.
By investing in products that promote the circular economy—such as durable, reusable packaging—you can present a clear path forward. Why not consider solutions like cold wash-off labels, which allow easy removal for repurposing or refilling packaging? Also using thinner raw materials offers significant benefits. Not only does this reduce your dependency on virgin resources, but it also cuts waste and lowers costs, with gains like 16% more labels per roll, 13% fewer roll changes, and up to 25% less waste.
Fighting against greenwashing
Accountability is the best way to building trust and drive progress in sustainability. Being upfront about your actual sustainability measures builds customer trust, increases loyalty, and positions your business as a true leader in the fight for a sustainable future. Asteria, for example, has recently been conducting a Double Materiality Analysis to ensure its sustainability initiatives focus on what truly matters, aligning it with both customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
Alternative materials to reduce waste
The development of new materials, like biodegradable plastics from plant materials, bamboo fibres, and recycled waste, is crucial in reducing reliance on non-renewable resources and mitigating environmental pollution. By offering eco-friendly alternatives such as biodegradable options, our clients can reduce waste, lower carbon footprints, and embrace more sustainable manufacturing practices. This shift is vital for creating long-term solutions to global waste challenges and promoting resource efficiency.
