Sustainable Packaging Management



Key Performance in 2021
Risks and Opportunities
Infrastructure for plastic waste management is a crucial factor in developing countries as it can contribute to a wrongly structured waste management process and pollute the environment. Studies show lower rate of plastic waste recycling in developing countries comparing to mid-size developed countries. One of the main causes to plastic waste lies in the industrial business operations, especially in retail and wholesale businesses as all consumer goods require packaging which are not always degradable or reusable and causing plastic waste. Therefore, the importance of innovation management and plastic waste management in the industrial sector should be emphasized and continually developed to minimize land pollution and the impact on the ecosystem as well as on marine resources.
