What is Zero-Waste Packaging?

Zero-waste packaging refers to packaging strategies intended to minimize waste generation across the packaging lifecycle. It can involve reusable, recyclable, compostable, refillable, or material-efficient packaging solutions. The exact environmental outcome depends on material choice, reuse cycles, collection systems, and end-of-life infrastructure. Businesses may use zero-waste approaches to reduce packaging material consumption. It is increasingly relevant to sustainable packaging and circular-economy initiatives.
