In the world of packaging, sustainability plays an important role. According to numerous sources packaging produced in Australia is estimated to be $10-10.5 billion, which means around USD300 billion globally. Out of which, the food and beverage sector uses almost around 65-70%.

The reason seems to be pretty obvious, with the immense change in lifestyles across Australian cities the packaging industry is found growing at a fanatic pace. As a result, people crave for more ready-to-eat meals on the go, quick, pre-cut, pre-portioned quick cook meals at home or even single-serve beverages and quick snacks while they are on the run. Keeping up the pace in life and the demand for convenience into consideration, Hunter Industrial Supplies aims to provide easy to open, dispense from, reseal plastic packaging that lasts for long.

• Recycled PET: Many of you have this misconception that nothing is more harmful than storing food in a plastic material. Besides, it is even more harmful when it ends up in landfills for years after disposal. Using recycled PET (RPET) in your frozen packaging can turn out to be a great solution. Created from recycled soda and water bottles, this plastic packaging material for foods works wonders when it comes to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

• Reusable Containers Much like KFC, we are also planning to sell reusable containers that not only helps in reducing excess waste, allowing customers to use the container safely for future use. Of course, the product is safe for the microwave and dishwasher, prolonging the package’s life, and are also easily recycled after disposal.

• Plastic Alternatives: Do you think harmful plastic is the only option left when it comes to food packaging? No! There are companies who have succeeded in developing products made from 100% recyclable materials, such as old newspapers and phone books. Which means, 1.5 tons of recycled paper is saved from landfills per day.

• Renewable and Compostable: Being renewable in nature, the need for mental trays used in bakeries is eliminated. In layman’s language, baked products now remain in the same packaging from production to consumers’ hands, and are then compostable at the end of life.

So that’s all for now! In order to get the best bundling, packaging, and securing services for your product, look no further than Hunter Industrial Supplies!

Australian Packaging Covenant Organization (APCO) recently launched and directed a brand Audit that will help the businesses to take important actions to meet the obligations of sustainable packaging.

A few thousand Australian organizations will this week be told about their need to conform to the reasonable packaging commitments illustrated in the National Environmental Protection (Used Packaging Materials) Measure 2011 (NEPM).

The supportability Brand Audit is being directed by APCO, which is the organizational agency charged by the government to meet the objective of making packaging 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. For the cause of saving the environment from the harmful products and considering the importance of packaging for everything, this act is taken into consideration at higher priorities.

Australia's environment department representatives reported the objective in April 2018, and APCO is right now building up a national guide for how Australia can convey on it.

The present Brand Audit is one of APCO's center activities intended to guarantee organizations of all sizes are meeting their maintainable packaging commitments and working cooperatively to meet the 2025 target. The Audit will consolidate organizations from an extensive variety of segments, including Food and Beverage, Printing and Toy, Pharmaceuticals, Grocery Mart and Sporting Goods wholesaler.

Organizations at risk under the National Environment Protection Measures (NEPM) incorporate association with a yearly turnover of $5 at least million, that is either in the inventory network of customer packaging or a retailer that is a producer, distributor or shipper, or offers its marked items to buyers.

"Reaching the landmark target set by environment ministers will require a complete transformation of the way our society thinks about packaging - recognizing it as a valuable resource and not just waste that is destined for landfill," said Brooke Donnelly, APCO CEO.

"We know we can do it, however we can't do it along. Organizations assume a critical part in making this objective a reality.

"There are various fundamental bundling prerequisites that every Australian business are required to meet - and these are sketched out in the NEPM. "One of our duties is to tell the organizations who aren't meeting these fundamental commitments and furnish them with the apparatuses, assets and pathways to track and enhance their bundling manageability."

Achieving the milestone target set by condition pastors will require a total change of the way our general public contemplates bundling - remembering it as a profitable asset and not simply squander that is bound for landfill. Furthermore, APCO will one week from now start a two-month meeting process with APCO individuals and key partners to better comprehend what industry requires to breath life into the objective.

The meeting will incorporate a survey of other proposed targets, and the part and capacity of the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs) and other APCO instruments in supporting the 2025 target. In July, APCO will have Q&A sessions in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne to give entrepreneurs a chance to make inquiries about the 2025 target.

Packaging has become one of the most essential components of our modern lifestyle.
