Abstract: Our heavy reliance on plastics packaging has long been of growing concern. Over the years,plastics packaging has become an essential material for many industries and indeed for the economy fulfilling many essential roles; from protection,storage and transport functions. These functions essentially contribute to sustainability,as packaging prevents damage to sensitive products and loss of food. In many cases,the environmental impact of producing the packaged good is considerably greater than the impact of producing the packaging itself. In other words,when designing sustainable packaging,the protection of products must also be considered.
