AI Overview
Zero-waste packaging is no longer just a trend—it’s a strategic move for Australian businesses committed to sustainability. Achieving zero-waste packaging means designing products, materials, and processes that eliminate waste, reduce plastic usage, and promote recycling or composting. Businesses that adopt these practices not only protect the environment but also strengthen their brand reputation and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
