Are Stand Up Pouches Eco Friendly?

Absolutely! Stand up pouch packaging comes in many forms. You can use a pouch as packaging for tea and coffee, as a beef jerky bag, and for packaging many types of other food and non-food items.  Pouches can be single layered foil pouches or multi-layered barrier bags. Additional layers make the package strong. One of the reasons these pouches are so popular is because they are eco-friendly.

In multi-layered bags, all the layers are laminated together. Various materials are used for building the layers. Each layer individually is environment-friendly. But when all the layers are put together, the end product is slightly heavier. This may have an adverse effect on the landfills they finally end up in. To ensure that the pouches cause the least damage to the environment, try to reuse and recycle them.

In terms of environment friendliness, standup pouches are far superior to traditional packaging materials.

Since they are lightweight and flexible, there’s not too much waste. On the other hand, cardboard boxes are heavier than regular sized stand up bags. When they have to be discarded, a lot of space is required. Stand up pouches also serve as green substitutes for glass bottles. On an average, a bottle weighs 20 times more than a stand up bag.
