With the recent news and concerns sweeping across the globe about how climate change and environmental degradation are harming the earth, what can environmentally-conscious clients or consumers do to help the situation? One answer and also a fantastic starting point is eco-friendly packaging, which helps to both cut carbon emissions and generate far less waste.

According to Neel Kapadia, Operations Manager at American Hygienics Corporation(AHC), a variety of eco-friendly solutions to packaging bags for wipes products are offered by the company. "One of our options is bio-hybrid bags made of 30-40% biodegradable plant-based bioplastic, which translates to 30-40% less standard plastics." 

Compared to traditional petrochemical based plastic bags, bio-hybrid bags represent an effort towards greater sustainability while still being affordable to customers. "Bio-hybrid bags are now part of AHC's mission to create a sustainable packaging solution for wet wipes and diaper products." added Neel.

Aside from bio-hybrid bags, the company also offers 100% plant-based bags, which are up to 100% degradable and compostable. Other eco-friendly packaging options include recyclable bags and bags made of 70% recyclable materials and 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.
