Sustainable Cannabis Packaging: Recycling & Waste Management

At Sana Packaging, we have long believed that the recycling and sustainable waste management systems in the United States are flawed due to inefficiencies in collection and sorting programs, as well as the market-driven nature of the systems themselves.

This has become a serious issue with the rise of single use plastics across all packaging verticals, a trend that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated. Single-use plastics have become the de facto solution for businesses of all kinds as they attempt to package their products in ways that consumers feel safe purchasing. The current explosion in popularity of this type of packaging has further highlighted the issues plaguing our recycling system.

Seeking Innovative Recycling Solutions to the Broken Recycling System

Sana Packaging was created because we recognized that our waste management systems are not working. Profit margins and exploitation should have never driven our system for dealing with excess waste. Yet the machine continues to produce excess waste, even when there is nowhere for it to go. This is having a significant negative impact on the environment and at-risk communities worldwide.

The inefficiency of the global recycling landscape is precisely why we are moving toward a circular economy as a more effective approach to addressing the problem. We hope to contribute to the solution by participating in the development of this new economic model, which is designed to benefit both people and the environment, rather than solely generating profits.

The Social and Environmental Justice Cost of America's Broken Recycling System

Beyond harming the environment, the inefficiencies of our recycling and waste management systems also disproportionately negatively impact low-income communities in the United States and globally.
