INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING - COMMERCIAL PACKAGING - DOMESTIC PACKAGING
Packaging plays a fundamental role in our daily lives, allowing us to store, transport and protect various products.
There are different types of packaging depending on its use and context, among which are industrial packaging, commercial packaging and domestic packaging. Furthermore, recycling these packaging plays an important role in preserving the environment.
INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING
Industrial containers are those used in industry to store and transport large quantities of products. These containers are usually more resistant and durable, since they are designed to withstand more demanding conditions, such as transportation in cargo trucks or storage in industrial warehouses. They are typically made from materials such as durable plastic, metal, or corrugated cardboard. Common examples of industrial packaging are steel barrels for storing chemicals, plastic food containers, or wooden pallets used in logistics.
COMMERCIAL PACKAGING
Commercial containers, on the other hand, are those used to display and sell products in commercial establishments. These packages have an attractive design and are intended to capture the attention of the consumer. Its main objective is to protect the product and facilitate its marketing. Commercial packaging is typically lighter and more compact than industrial packaging. They can be made of materials such as cardboard, glass, plastic or metal, depending on the type of product and its presentation. For example, cardboard boxes for cereal, plastic bottles for beverages, or glass jars for gourmet products are examples of commercial packaging.
DOMESTIC PACKAGING
Finally, domestic containers are those used in homes to store food, cleaning products, medicines and other everyday products. These containers are designed to be practical and functional, facilitating their handling and conservation in the domestic environment. Domestic packaging is typically smaller compared to commercial and industrial packaging. They can be made from materials such as plastic, glass or cardboard, and some of them are usually reusable. Examples of household packaging are plastic food jars, glass bottles for storing water, or plastic tubes for toothpaste.
Regarding recycling, it is essential to minimize the environmental impact of packaging. Recycling industrial, commercial and domestic packaging helps reduce the amount of waste that reaches landfills, saving natural resources and reducing pollution. Each type of packaging requires a specific recycling process due to the differences in its materials and components. For example, industrial plastic containers can be recycled through shredding and extrusion processes, while commercial glass containers are recycled by melting them to produce new containers.
PACKAGING WASTE
Packaging waste represents a major environmental challenge in today's society. With the increase in consumption and mass production of goods, the amount of discarded packaging has reached alarming proportions. This waste includes plastic bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard, glass and other materials that are not easily biodegradable.
To address this problem, various strategies have been implemented, including the obligation to register in the Registry of Producers of Packaging Products and Packaging Waste as well as compliance and preparation of the packaging declaration. The packaging declaration is a set of measures and regulations that seek to regulate and control the quantity and quality of the materials used in packaging, with the aim of reducing their environmental impact.
PACKAGING DECLARATION
The packaging declaration promotes the reduction in the amount of material used in the manufacture of packaging, encouraging the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials.
In addition, it seeks to encourage the reuse of packaging and promote the implementation of efficient recycling systems. It is important that both manufacturers and consumers are involved in this process.
Manufacturers must design more sustainable packaging, using eco-friendly materials and promoting the circular economy. On the other hand, consumers should be aware of the importance of recycling and using products with more environmentally responsible packaging.
