Plastic clamshell packaging is an object of hatred in the world of waste and recycling, a seething cauldron of frustration and resentment. It is a clear plastic packaging that consists of two halves and is hinged together. Cons: While some people love plastic clamshell packaging because it keeps their items safe and secure, there are some cons that we found worthy to point out.
Plastic clamshell packaging can be a major pollutant. Baolilai printed plastic packaging can linger for hundreds of years in a landfill. And that means it can sit there for a very long time, occupying space and possibly causing harm to wildlife. If plastic clamshell packaging is not recycled it can eventually wind up in rivers and oceans, where it can hurt marine animals including turtles and fish.

Baolilai refillable food squeeze tubes can help protect products during shipment and can also help protect products from other types of damage. Of course, plastic clamshell packaging has a few negatives as well. For one, it can be difficult to open and even cause cuts or harm.

Plastic clamshell packaging is often accepted in many recycling programs, so check with your recycling center first to see if they’ll accept it. If recycling isn’t a possibility, consider whether you can reuse what the package came in, and if that’s out of the question, think about any creative ways you can upcycle it into something else.
There are a few clever alternatives to plastic clamshell packaging that are more eco-friendly. Some companies, for example, have begun using biodegradable materials to produce packaging that will break down more readily in the environment. Others are clearly more dedicated to the environment and are using compostable materials that can be discarded in compost bin.
