Sustainable packaging (also referred to as eco-friendly, environmentally-friendly and green packaging) is frequently discussed in the popular and trade media and is something to which almost all major food companies have publicly committed. However, defining what sustainable packaging actually is presents a challenge and there is no single universally-accepted definition.
