Plantable packaging: A zero-waste concept — Fmtmagazine

The packaging is made from cardboard, a renewable and recyclable material. It is printed on FSC-certified paper, which comes from forests that are managed sustainably, according to the highest environmental and social standards.

You might be familiar with reusing, recycling, or upcycling packaging. But the concept of plantable packaging takes it to the next level. Plantable packaging is a term for sustainable packaging made from biodegradable materials.

Once the product is finished, the packaging can be planted and grown into new plants. This is an incredible concept for a few reasons: It reduces waste, It’s eco-friendly, It’s a beautiful way to teach kids about the environment It can be used to grow new plants.
