Ecopax is a company providing sustainable packaging solutions to healthcare and pharma sectors using biodegradable packaging materials. The Company is looking at expanding its solutions to other sectors, especially food packaging. Brands have been turning to sustainable packaging for many reasons, including CSR, reducing their carbon footprints, reducing waste and increasing sales. Market research company Global Web Index reports that 61% of U.S. and 56% of the UK consumers seek out products that are recyclable or that use sustainable materials when making day-to-day purchases. Eco- conscious consumers care about sustainable packaging because they are concerned about the environment, and they are willing to support companies that share this concern.
