Packaging is an integral part of any product development in any industry, and eco-friendly packaging is a head-turner in any industry's operations towards sustainable practices to improve quality and avoid additives in any form. The global eco-packaging market is registering a continual growth of about 6 percent CAGR. Indian manufacturers and warehouse maintenance companies are willing to participate in this growth by adopting eco-packaging methods. Customers using packaging materials usually face a hindrance in adopting eco-friendly packaging methods due to high prices of the standard material that are used for biodegradable packaging. The conventional integrant used for manufacturing is pinewood, the high price of which ends up increasing the overall price of the products. The Indian market is brimming with ever-growing start-ups that are working with economical alternatives to pinewoods.
Manek Eco Packaging, a compressed wooden pallet distributor, has introduced an alternative to expensive pinewood. Manek Eco Packaging is a biodegradable start-up in its true sense. The packaging products they bring into the market through its large and swift distribution network are eco-friendly and biodegradable, and the raw material used is eco-friendly in nature too. The company has resolved the greatest challenge of the packaging market by introducing
biodegradable wooden pallets which are made from waste wood chips and resins instead of conventional pinewood. Rushi Mistry, the company director, says, “Our products are made from waste wood chips or any by-product of wood. We don’t cut down trees compared to the existing method, and this is what makes our product eco-friendly.”
Offers Sustainability at Each Stage of Consumption
Manek Eco Packaging has been operating in the packaging industry for a few years and has seen the requirements and products evolving over the years. Therefore, the compressed wooden pallet the company currently offers to its customers is an integrated solution to multiple exporting issues. This is a result of in-depth R&D, which has characterized the product as sustainable.
The most credible feature of the wooden pallets is their pest-free nature. Manek Eco Packaging has induced an innovative manufacturing process that enables safety against pests. Rushi explains, “The process is called compress-molding technology. We use a mixture of wood chips, resin, and special dyes to create this unique product. Due to high temperatures during the drying process, there is no chance of survival for any living organism in the wood chips.” This unique process causes the elimination of the need for fumigation, which also reduces costs. Furthermore, the pallets are stackable and cater to storage issues in warehouses allowing optimum space usage. Hence, company operations in Manek are boosted by thorough involvement of technology and R&D in product manufacturing.
