Abstract
In modern times the problem of packaging has
become almost as significant as the political and
financial instability and is dealt with at the global
level. Initially, packaging was designed and
produced to prevent any damage to its content,
but nowadays it is also used for marketing
purposes and to ensure quick handling in stores,
during transport or in the hands of end users. It is
also aesthetically appealing, to attract consumers.
Everything is nicely synchronised, but after
packaging has served its purpose, nobody knows
how to manage it.
Millions are spend to safely remove packaging,
developed throughout centuries, from the
environment and to safeguard human health,
the scenery and world energy resources in the
process.
Keywords
ecology; waste management; environment protection; energy-efficient packaging management; recycling
