This is a 20 minute Lesson from eco-friendly packaging brand EcoEnclose. They are a company passionate about bringing innovation and eco-solutions to shipping supplies, by developing packaging made with as much recycled content as is humanly possible, and that can be easily recycled into new packaging in its next life. We talk to their co-owner, Saloni Doshi, about eco-packaging and get the lowdown on what precisely eco-friendly packaging is, and the argument for recyclable packaging versus biodegradable packaging.


In this Lesson, you will learn:

  • What is eco-friendly packaging?
  • Biodegradable plastic packaging: what are the different types of bioplastic, how do product biodegrade and some common misconceptions?
  • Biodegradable Packaging vs Recyclable Plastic Packaging.
  • Choosing your eco-friendly packaging.
