When it comes to packaging, we tend to think of protecting things and making them look good. But there’s another crucial element: the environment. We Shunho believe to pack with eco Friendly. This means you can feel better about how we package by being more environmentally friendly and less wasteful. We work with materials that are reusable, recyclable or biodegradable, and will not harm the environment.
For companies that want to be seen as environmentally minded, the right packaging is a big deal. At Shunho, we have alternatives in products such as recycled cardboard and plant-based plastics. These are terrific materials because they can be made from resources that can grow again, or from resources that have been used before. This is a great way to minimize waste and save Mother Nature. Businesses can feel good about choosing these alternatives because they’re contributing to save the world. TransMet® Inspire and TransMet® Lens are some examples of eco-friendly materials that can be used in packaging.
The possibilities of eco-friendly materials for packaging are endless. The best ones include bamboo, mushroom fibers, and seaweed. Bamboo grows at a rapid clip and requires very little water and virtually no pesticides, so it’s considered an ultra-green option. Mushroom fibers can be grown into any form and they biodegrade directly to soil without leaving any nasties behind. Seaweed is cool in that it’s a good thing that gets out of the way; it actually cleans the water as it grows. At Shunho, we are researching these materials to discover the greenest solutions.
If you are buying in bulk, you might be concerned about the cost of environmentally friendly options. But don't worry! Shunho offers more affordable options of biodegradable packing peanuts and cornstarch based products. They decompose readily in the environment and don't cost all that much. And wholesale buyers can both save a buck and save the Earth.
The right packaging also can help decrease a farm’s carbon footprint, or the sum of all greenhouse gases emitted. Less energy is required to transport and produce lighter, more efficient materials. Shunho is interested in packaging designs that consume the least amount of material and generate no waste. This saves resources, as well as cutting down on transport and production emissions.
Finally, Shunho encourages reusable packaging. That means the packaging can now be used over and over before it is recycled or thrown out. Items like reusable boxes or containers made of sturdy materials are good for this. They may cost a little more at first, but ultimately, they save money and cut down on waste. That’s ideal for businesses that send a lot of products and are looking to be more sustainable.
