Product demand!
The demand for biodegradable
packaging has reached such epic proportions that, this month, Green
Home was left with empty shelves. We apologise to all our clients who
have been awaiting their orders. The good news is that the increased
demand has allowed for growth in Green Home and in mid-May we will be opening
up distribution in Jhb in order to cope with demand.
Our range is
expanding
In mid-May Green Home is updating its range of biodegradable food
containers. Please send an email with the subject "May price list" to info@greenhome.co.za
if you would like to be sent our updated range of products and prices.

Degradable versus Biodegradable
|
You
may have noticed that Albany Bakeries have started labelling their
plastic packaging as being biodegradable. You, as a consumer are being
duped, because their packaging is made from petroleum-based plastic
which is degradable rather than biodegradable. Read more.

Degradable/biodegradable/
compostable
|
|
The terms degradable, biodegradable and compostable have
started to appear on packaging and bags, but these terms are often used
incorrectly and leave the consumer confused.
Here is a dummy's guide to
understanding what the terms mean.
|
Consumer trends favour the
move towards biodegradable
|
|
It is encouraging that, globally, there has been a consumer backlash
to petroleum-based plastics for both health and environmental reasons.
In its most recent report, a leading trend forecaster has stated that
packaging designers need to think more holistically about the
challenges we face in the future.
