# Bio-Conscious Drink Containers Ecologic Sustainable Packaging Can be Recycled By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-03-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecologic-sustainable-packaging References: [triplepundit](http://www.triplepundit.com/2010/01/recyclable-compostable-and-biodegradable-in-the-same-bottle-yes/) & [ecologicbrands](http://www.ecologicbrands.com/index.html) Ecologic sustainable packaging has an outer shell made of 100% recycled cardboard that can be recycled with other paper. The [compostable outer shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carp-packaging) holds an inner pouch made of Number 4 type plastic. The inner pouch uses less than 30% of the plastic required for jugs and it is also recyclable. The packaging is now used for milk products, but other liquids like wine, [juice and cleaning products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-brik-aseptic) are on the list. The Ecologic sustainable packaging is easy to separate for recycling: cardboard in one place, plastic in another. It also has a pleasing look that should help it gain market acceptance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Packaging:** The trend for brands to adopt minimal waste packaging solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. - **Circular Economy:** The trend to create a closed-loop system where waste materials are repurposed back into the supply chain. - **Environmental Consciousness:** Growing awareness of the impact of human waste on the environment is driving consumer demand for sustainable packaging. ### Where This Applies - **Packaging:** Packaging companies have an opportunity to develop new sustainable packaging solutions that reduce waste and increase product shelf-life. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies need to adopt sustainable packaging solutions that align with their brand values to attract and retain the growing number of eco-conscious consumers. - **Cleaning Products:** Cleaning product companies have an opportunity to reduce their environmental impact by adopting sustainable packaging solutions that increase their product shelf-life and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ergonomic Eco-Friendly Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-prisma-aseptic-300-edge.md) - [Separating Eco Carton Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruk-sustainable-packaging-design.md) - [Recyclable Cardboard Lining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonoco-cristalco.md) - [Aseptic Eco Beverage Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-brik-aseptic-200-slim-leaf-carton.md) - [Fully-Recyclable Sleeve Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrink-sleeve-solution.md) - [Sustainable Supplement Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchstone-essentials-packaging.md) - [Fiber-Based Recyclable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-parkers.md) - [Sustainable Carton-Style Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elopak-paperboard.md) - [Paper-Made Juice Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-brik-aseptic.md)
