Abstract
Data about different investigations relative to the composition and raw material for the production of packages and its influence on the environment (soil, water, air, energy) was collected, statistically analyzed and commented. The paper was completed with compiled data on total refuse, house garbage, with particular attention to the share of milk package, in order to determine priorities in reducing the refuse on the rubbish dumps and the exploitation of natural, in particular unrestorable, resources of raw material and energy. On the basis of this data it is possible to conclude which package is the most environment-friendly due to its breakdown properties or its reuse or recycling into the raw material with the least amount of energy. The package that meets all the criteria can be called ecologically acceptable and could be specially labeled and, as such subjected to lower taxes. However, the package has to keep its functional and technicotechnological properties, marketing role and economy.
