Sustainable Packaging for the Cannabis Industry

Going Green has become popular with most of the largest corporations today. The UN Environment Program notes a “growing number of individual company or collective approaches across companies to reducing Single Use Plastic Packaging.” Investment firms, governmental buying agencies, and even the single consumer are increasingly aligning their purchasing selections with sound environmental practices. Research shows that “87% of consumers will be more loyal to a company that supports social or environmental issues,” as cited by Adam Butler in his article Do Customers Really Care About Your Environmental Impact, in a Forbes New York Business Council post. Younger consumers are even willing to pay more for the environmentally responsible option. 36% of youth surveyed by YPulse said they would pay 10% extra to choose a better-for-the-environment product.
