Packaging plays a vital role these days. Today online shopping has increased to a greater extent. The logistics industry and packaging industry are in high demand right now. People look for cheaper logistics and at the same time people also look for the best and sustainable packaging solution. Sometimes people don't care about ecofriendly options when it comes to packaging. The main reason is that not all the options are cost-effective. If we can create packaging materials that are cheap and at the same time good for the environment, it will be a win-win.
Staying away from plastics
We have seen 100s examples of why plastics are bad for humans. Recently there was a study conducted in China that also proved that there are microplastics in Semen that increase the chance of impotence in men. Even if the child is born, they are born with issues. So plastics are everywhere and they are harming nature. The indestructible nature of plastics is what makes it hard to manage. Anything permanent in this world is a danger. We know how humans are destroying the other natural beings in this world. The same happens if the materials we use are also indestructible.
Waste accumulation
Another problem with not using biodegradable packaging material is that we would be creating a lot of waste that cannot be processed well. The waste accumulation is not managed very well in many countries thus creating more landfills with toxic gases and toxic flames. This is again harming the planet and only a few countries and individual organizations seem to care. Others continue to pollute the land in whichever way they can.
Sustainable packing
We have to explore many organic options to do sustainable packing. It has to be sturdy and at the same time, it should not be a costly solution. Only when it is cheap or even cheaper than the currently available products, people will be tempted to use it. For example, many people have now started using a wooden toothbrush instead of a plastic toothbrush. This is a great change because most of these wooden toothbrushes are created with sustainable materials like bamboo which grows faster.
Understanding about climate change
Though many people don't belive in climate change, there are still many people who think that climate change is real and they would like to play their part in reversing the climate change. Even though we are going to be living on this planet only for a few years, we are doing a lot of harm to this planet. Using biodegradable packaging materials will help in keeping the planet clean and it will heal by itself when the mass production of plastics comes down.
Corporates should aid hand
If we want to implement something, we have to get the support from the corporates. Biodegradable materials are already available in the markets and some of them are a bit costly compared to the other packaging options. Though the price difference may not matter much, people are still hesitant. In such cases, corporates should lead the way because they might have the budget to make this change in their company rather than expecting a small company or individual to change.

you are right, we need to get rid as much as possible out of plastic, its bad for health, bad for environment and it just makes pollution
This is a beautiful idea. I also believe that we should start using less plastic. I don't even understand why so much plastic ends up in the sea. !ALIVE
It is true that today in our country we are also seeing that the government is trying to eliminate plastic but the shopkeepers are talking that other shoppers are making them expensive. fall and their profit margin is less so they are giving same things to same shopper but now government is getting stricter and chillan these people.

Plastic waste is causing extensive damage to the environment, and is also entering the human body. It is a threat to the animal world. I was surprised to learn that plastic has been found in human semen.
Plastic ain’t doing us any good in the society. It’s better to get rid of them but it’s sad that some people are even producing more plastics
Together, we can create a healthier environment for future generations and reverse the harmful effects of climate change. Every step counts!
