02 Aug 2023 --- Carbon reduction lies at the heart of the packaging industry’s efforts to improve environmental sustainability. Carbon capture technologies, carbon-reduced material development and carbon labeling on products are some of the most prominent methods the industry is using to lower emissions and help consumers reduce their footprint through purchases.Through international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Climate Agreement, governments have pledged to drive down CO2 emissions to achieve carbon neutrality. But according to the Council of Foreign Relations, global energy-related CO2 emissions grew by 0.9% or 321 metric tons in 2022, reaching a new high of over 36.8 gigatons.
