HOW TO REDUCE CARBON FOOT PRINT BY PROPER PACKAGING
Arun Joseph
As we
all know, today's world is all concerned about the term "Eco
friendly" . We come across these word in everyday life and this term is
now associated with almost every commodity which is out there in the market
today. So here lets talk about how packaging is intertwined with reduction in
carbon foot print. According to a popular source, carbon foot print can be
defined as "the total sets of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
caused by an organization, event, product or person".
So lets discuss how to reduce the above mentioned vice by ensuring proper packaging. Where often we come across a product which is over packed, that is the product may be packed with many layer of packaging material which is absolutely useless. And to make matters worse these packaging materials are often plastics with thickness greater than microns advised by the governments. So here we have come across two problems with solution which is ready at hand. The solutions are obvious, insuring that the good is packed properly and packed with recommended plastics.
Soft drinks have conquered the minds of youth and elderly alike. But have we ever given a thought about how the soft drink bottle ends up in adding to the already bludgeoning carbon foot print. The only possible solution in this situation is to facilitate the recycling the used plastic bottles and metal cans. As banning soft drink bottles is out of question and using galss bottles instead of plastic bottle is not feasible. And the glass bottles and metal cans already in circulation should be recycled.
When the word packaging comes up, the first thing we think about is the paper. Paper have been used as a packaging material for ages now. Well it’s a fact that to obtain a roll of paper 10 meters in length, an average of 230 trees are cut down. When a tree is cut down position of natural carbon dioxide recycler is being left open. That is in short the use of paper as a packaging material should be limited

Ways You Can Cut Back on Packaging's Carbon Footprint
1.
Buy
in bulk whenever possible and store goods in refillable containers.
2.
Reuse
glass containers for storing foods, rather than plastic wrap or foil.
3.
Buy
used, since many used items come with far less packaging than new.
4.
When
ordering products online, ask for them to come in one shipment.
5.
Take
your own reusable materials out with you, such as a stainless steel coffee
thermos reusable bags and so on, to help cut down on consumption of disposables
wherever possible.
6.
Avoid
anything you don't really need, and that comes in packaging, such as
convenience foods, bottled drinks, and individually wrapped items.
7.
Choose
items with packaging that is reusable.
