Revolutionizing Packaging and Consumer Products: Exploring the Potential of Biodegradable Materials
Abstract
The need to reduce environmental degradation has made it more crucial than at any time to identify sustainable packaging and consumer goods solutions. To bring the consumer goods industry into compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this research investigates the revolutionary potential of biodegradable materials. Through a priority on the lifetime assessment from manufacturing industries to post-consumer waste management, everyone looks at the most recent developments in the biodegradable material sciences and how they apply to packaging design. Our study incorporates findings from various fields to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental effects of biodegradable packaging options. This idea is an original framework that may be incorporated into the supply chain to reduce environmental impact and improve the circular economy principles. According to the research, biodegradable materials stimulate innovation, consumer responsibility, and regulatory compliance and present a practical substitute for conventional packaging. To support sustainable change in the sector, the research investigation ends with suggested strategies for stakeholders that highlight the value of market incentives, consumer education, and regulation. By presenting practical insights into the application of biodegradable materials as a catalyst for eco-innovation in consumer goods, this study advances the conversation on sustainable development.
