Collection: Packaging Market | MDS ECO Product Spotlight

Packaging is the science, art, and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use, which is used in manufacturing or supply processes. To protect, preserve, and prolong the quality of finished goods traveling along supply chains, items such as shrink wrap, carton sealing tape, desiccants, bubble wrap, strapping, poly bags, and shipping peanuts are critical components to ensuring that products are delivered free of damages. Unfortunately, the majority of conventional packaging material is made from petroleum-based plastic or polyethylene such as HDPE, PET, LDPE, LLDPE, Metalocene, Polypropylene, and Tyvek®, all of which will remain in landfill for many centuries, compounding concerns over plastic waste and micro-plastic pollution.

Committed to protecting people and to preserving the planet, many manufacturers are taking the next step in sustainability by implementing some of the newest Eco-technologies available in their products.  These Eco-friendly products are designed to ensure compliance while making a positive impact and reducing landfills, carbon footprints, and reliance on fossil fuel-based resources.

Protect Life, Earth & Communities

Desiccants protect sealed containers and/or finished products susceptible to moisture damage along global distribution chains, ideal for active, automatic, or hand packaging operations. Replace those outdated Tyvek® desiccants with our sustainable desiccants and help preserve the planet while providing a positive impact with consumers. These non-toxic, plastic-free, and all-natural bentonite clay moisture absorbing packets are constructed with biodegradable Kraft paper that is scientifically proven to outperform silica gel and calcium chloride type desiccants without causing landfill or plastic pollution!

Poly bags, also known as polyethylene bags, provide an economical choice to protect items from dirt, moisture, and tampering. Reclosable-type polyethylene bags are commonly used to ship, protect, hold, and store just about everything from specimen samples to food, herbs, clothing, hardware, tools, and automotive parts. T-shirts bags, also referred to as T-saks, are popular among retail or take-out food service operations. 

Strong and reliable as traditional (mostly polyethylene)-bags, sustainable poly bags will meet zero waste needs while reducing landfill and micro-plastic pollution for future generations.
