-Packaging can be a major environmental problem.
-The use of biodegradable packaging is an option to tackle this problem. When put in a landfill site it should decompose quickly, unlike a lot of currently used packaging.
However, to decompose in a way that only produces carbon dioxide oxygen needs to be present, but in landfill oxygen is often not present. This results in the production of a powerful greenhouse gasmethane being produced if decay occurs at all.
-Another possible solution is to recycle the packaging.
-The materials and energy used in production, energy used in transport and pollution created are all considerations when trying to improve sustainability.
