9 Key Factors to Maximise Material Efficiency While Minimising Environmental Harm
The article highlights nine factors for maximising material efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Sustainable material choices such as recycled fibres or bio-based plastics can lower waste and emissions. Lean design and precision cutting reduce overuse of board or substrates by up to 20%. Circular approaches like recycling trim waste and just-in-time inventory mitigate scrap and spoilage. Digital tracking and supplier collaboration further optimise packaging resource use.
