Paperboard, paper-based carton, among others, are extensively used in organic food products packaging. The second most preferred packaging for organic products is bio-plastic packaging, which is made up of bio-based material such as cellulose. The demand for this packaging is increasing, owing to its recyclability and harmlessness regarding environmental concerns.
