Abstract
Sustainable packaging solutions are becoming increasingly important as industries seek to reduce their environmental impact and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products. Chemical engineering plays a crucial role in the development of sustainable packaging materials and technologies that minimize resource consumption, reduce waste, and promote recycling and reuse. This article explores the contributions of chemical engineers to the field of sustainable packaging, including innovations in biodegradable materials, renewable feedstocks, and recyclable packaging technologies. The paper also discusses the challenges faced in the adoption of sustainable packaging solutions and the future directions for the integration of chemical engineering principles in packaging design and production.
