When we think about consumer products, our minds typically consider the product itself and not the package it is encased in. However, if packaging is done poorly, we are sure to notice. Nobody wants their products tampered with as a result of frail packaging.
Similarly, when we think of mankind, our minds typically consider the products of mankind—humanity’s accomplishments, histories, wars, and ideas—not the earthly biome we are encased within. However, our earth is becoming increasingly less and less durable for human and nonhuman life, meaning our systems of production will be affected in the process. If our environment is frail, so are we.
So, what do we do?
The answer is change.
If packaging is frail and leads to harmed goods, we change that packaging. If our planet’s ecosystems are becoming increasingly frail because of climate change, we change the industrial systems that contribute to climate change. In the packaging industry, luckily, there seems to be a solution that can help tackle both of the problems listed above: corrugated.
