Eco-Friendly Packaging Is Trending — How Factories Can Keep Up

Alyssa/ November 18, 2025 Return

Eco-friendly packaging is trending again — and not just among young consumers. Governments in the US, UK, and EU are encouraging companies to reduce plastic and switch to recyclable materials. Brands that don’t upgrade risk losing market share.

But eco packaging is not easy. Paper-based materials tear more easily, and recycled cardboard often has uneven thickness. If your equipment isn’t stable, boxes collapse, folds break, and waste piles up.

That’s why many factories are switching to UBL’s cartoning and bagging machines. These machines handle recycled cartons, kraft paper bags, and thin packaging materials with high stability. They measure, fold, seal, and form boxes accurately — reducing waste and saving costs.

For industries like food, beauty, clothes, and daily-use goods, eco packaging isn’t just “good for the planet,” it’s good for business. Customers in English-speaking markets are more likely to buy from brands that care about sustainability — and they pay attention to packaging details.

Switching to eco materials is a chance to stand out. With the right equipment, factories can keep speed high and waste low while meeting modern expectations.

So tell me — are you planning to upgrade to eco packaging this year?
