Tiivistelmä
Packaging is often considered as an ephemeral product due to its intended role in the product system. However, packaging plays a vital role in supporting and promoting improvements and innovation in the sustainable supply chain. In this context, the concern was that packaging companies were struggling to achieve green sustainability in the supply chain through eco-friendly packaging designs.
The objective of this study was to analyze the link between green packaging and sustainability in supply chain in order to provide packaging companies with a comprehensive perspective of adopting a sustainable supply chain in terms of environmental, economic and social development. It was hoped that the information gained from this study could be generalized into a standard guideline for future firms so that they could reflect on themselves to gain sustainability successfully by adopting green packaging in the circular economy.
The quantitative research approach was used to achieve the objectives. Five pairs of food packaging and an online survey were conducted to guarantee the validity and reliability of the results. The outcome retrieved from both comparison and online survey was transcribed and analyzed with the content analysis.
The results could be used by companies that wish to pursue a similar path to continue analyzing sustainable packaging logistics. Due to the small sample size, the results should not be used as a shred of standard evidence. Moreover, companies should consider the given advice to achieve a similar outcome.
