ECO FAQ

What is Sustainability, and how does it apply to the luxury packaging market?

Sustainable has several different connotations in our market,all of which are worth 

considering when you are looking at a sustainable packaging program.

Recycled Materials

There are two different categories of recycled materials: 

Post Consumer Waste (PCW) or Post Industrial Waste (PIW). Materials which use recycled materialsand do not require virgin products to be produced and also have a benefit of reusing the raw materials that otherwisewould have gone to landfills. Examples of PCW products would be taking plastic water bottles used by consumers and making a new fabric from these such as the Chamel Recycled.

Biodegradable Materials

Almost all natural materials are biodegradable. All silk, cotton, linen and wood products are biodegradable.

 In our industry we can use cardboard instead of plastic for box frames, silk instead of polyester for the interior box linings, cotton instead of microfiber for a pouch. 

Additionally papers which are uncoated are also considered biodegradable.
