UL2809 recycled content certification has a positive impact on sustainable packaging initiatives for plastic packaging consumption.
First of all, plastic packaging products can prove that they contain a certain proportion of recycled materials through UL2809 certification, which will help reduce the use of virgin plastics, thereby reducing the impact of plastic packaging on the environment.
Secondly, UL2809 certification also provides quantitative indicators for the sustainability of plastic packaging. For consumers, they can more clearly understand the degree of environmental protection of products, so as to better choose environmentally friendly products. At the same time, for brand owners and professional purchasing teams, this certification can also be used to evaluate the sustainability of products and make more environmentally friendly purchasing decisions.
In addition, UL2809 certified plastic packaging products can also promote more recycling and reuse. When consumers see the UL2809 certification logo on the product, they will be more willing to recycle the discarded products or hand them over to professional recycling agencies, thereby reducing the impact of waste on the environment.
UL2809 Recycled Content Certification Sustainable Packaging Initiative for Plastic Packaging Consumption:
-
reduce the use of virgin plastics. Measures such as lightweight packaging, the use of alternative materials such as paper, and the reduction of packaging can most directly reduce the use of plastics. In addition, the use of recycled plastics, and bio-based degradable materials (such as PLA and PHA) to replace fossil fuel virgin plastics is also a way to reduce the use of virgin plastics.
-
increase the proportion of recycled plastics used. Used plastic after recycling and processing, into recycled plastic (post-consumerrecycled, or PCR) can directly replace the original plastic, used in packaging. From the perspective of performance and cost, manufacturers still do not use a large proportion of recycled plastics.
-
improve the recyclability, reusability and degradability of packaging materials (recyclable,reusable,compostable, or RRC for short). Simplifying packaging and using a single material can improve recyclability. Changing the packaging design to enable it to be reused and using more degradable materials are all possible options.
