On what basis are resin identification codes given? Is it for the easier and more efficient recyclability of PET that it got the code 1?
I would like to know on what basis are the resin identification codes given? Is it based on the easier recyclabilty of a polymer, i.e as PET is easier to recycle than other polymers such as HDPE, LDPE, PP, PVC , etc. And which polymer has the smallest biological footprint as everyone tries to market PET, PP, PE equally and they are all very efficient.
Posted October 10, 2009Flexible Packaging vs Cartons vs Biodegradable materials
Packaging sustainability is of prime importance in this contemporary market. Can anyone suggest which one has the least carbon footprint among packaging materials: flexible packaging, paperboard cartons or biodegradable materials? As each one has its own advantages and disadvantages, can anyone suggest what should be the approach for a greener package? Thank you, Best Regards Raviteja. Tata

Yes, in fact there is no single solution and every solution has a consequence, and considering something like a cradle to cradle approach in today's society, which one among those three will lead to a sustainable option for packaging managers??
