Packaging waste equals to approximately one-third of all trash, which costs governments billions of dollars every year in disposal expenses. The images below prove this great contributor to the global waste problem could be lowered significantly.
Packaging solutions usually become the subjects of heated debates. Although the eco-minded consumers want it to become as minimal as possible (which means fully recyclable), manufacturers frequently fire back that they do not want their products to begin to decompose in the store or be an easy target to shoplifters. And while some of these arguments have reasons behind them, many times packaging is needlessly excessive. For instance, who needs a pill to be wrapped in three layers of plastic? Or would anyone want casings for coke cans?
