Environmental Concerns within your Vegan Meals
The primary cause that veganism has become a prevailing trend in the food industry and consumer behavior is the concern about the environment, marked by more and more vegetarians practicing veganism leading a meat-free and cruel-free lifestyle, and thus avoiding consuming animal products. [3]

Accompanying such a trend is the “food-on-the-go” culture, meals are prepared in an instantly available-to-be-consumed manner and displayed on the shelf, which is addressed to be a consumption trend, in a lot of countries including the U.S. and United Kindom. And till nowadays it is also getting more and more popular in China.
The factor taken into consideration with this trend is the single-use packaging that can lead to a significant level of packaging waste of plastics and paper. And thus manufacturers and food processing companies are now resorting to recyclable materials for containers and packaging.
Apart from the recyclable material such as PET used for the plastic tray that carries the meals inside, the sleeve packaging is also a critical one in terms of the secondary packaging.
Enhance more Sustainability on Secondary Packaging with Sleeve
Your vegan meals can either be loaded into traditional six-sided carton boxes or wrapped by a paperboard or cardboard sleeve. Yet, have you ever wondered with which packaging you are contributing more to the control of emissions and carbon footprint?
PPEC study shows that, according to the materials used, for example, paperboard or corrugated cardboard, the carbon footprint can reach 0.94 kg CO2e with the former and 1.53 kg CO2e/kg with the latter. [4]
Obviously, when a carton sleeve is applied for secondary packaging, it saves more on paper and printing material now that rather than a carton box that has six sides and numbers of flaps and tucks, the sleeve is just a piece of flat paperboard that is simpler in structure.
