Less Plastic Packaging Means More in the Circular Economy

Have you used a plastic bottle in the last week? What about in the last day? With one million bottles sold every minute, single-use plastics have radically changed our way of life. Sadly, less than 20% of plastic waste is recycled. Discarded packaging ends up in our parks, on our streets and in our oceans, creating a serious environmental crisis. 

Sustainability-minded consumers are driving change and pressuring the industry to find solutions to plastic pollution. So how do packaging manufacturers design eco-friendly packaging to protect the environment while still protecting profit margins?  

Manufacturers of plastic products are racing to incorporate eco-friendly packaging materials. And they’re not just doing it to help the planet — they’re also doing it to stay in business. Consumers are demanding plastic waste solutions, and companies that prioritize sustainable plastic packaging are outperforming in their markets. Just as consumers need to “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” their plastics, companies need to “Rethink, Reduce, Reinvent” their eco-friendly packaging design.

Creating innovative materials that are consumer-friendly, environmentally sustainable and profitable for your business can be challenging. But with Dassault Systèmes’ Perfect Package cloud solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, waste reduction just got a lot easier.
