Carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuels, and the use of plastics are all major concern when it comes to reduce carbon footprint. Now a day’s packaging is also a big threat of greenhouse gas emissions.

When you add up the production, transport, and use of packaging items, it can be a lot like using a car. Some foreign country businesses are looking for eco-friendly packaging solutions that can help them lower their carbon footprints, meet their sustainability goals, and help them compete in a competitive market.

Some countries looking into a new, more environmentally friendly packaging solutions which are being developed, including boxes made from corn starch. This was really noticed in a renowned furniture company during 2019 in USA. In 2022, mushroom packaging is becoming a popular choice for sustainable packaging.

Mushroom packaging is a new type of packaging made from mushrooms. It is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly solution that uses less plastic than traditional packaging.

Mushroom packaging can help businesses grow and prosper, as well as help the end consumer get the best possible product, plus it helps the environment by reducing waste.

This type of packaging is made in a short span of time and is custom-made to fit a range of products. It is resistant to flame and water, and can be used for shipping needs both in the short-term and long-term. It is also biodegradable, so it is a good choice for businesses which are looking for exploring cost-effective sustainable packaging options.

According to research mushroom packaging is made of just two natural ingredients, so it can be composted in just 40-45 days. Just it is needed to do is break it up and add it to compost bin or scatter it on flowerbeds. The mushroom packaging a recycling process is a better way to use packaging materials than creating new packaging from scratch. This process uses waste products to create new packaging that can be used again and again, helping to reduce waste and protect the environment.

Unlike styrofoam, Mushroom Packaging consists of 100 percent biodegradable and renewable material that can be recycled directly in and by nature. Mushroom Packaging therefore contributes to up-cycling by providing new value to agricultural waste that otherwise has few other uses and low economic value.

So therefore our country needs imperatively to go for mushroom packaging wherever possible rather than traditional packaging to reduce carbon footprint.
