Looking back at 2025, hot topics from no-plastic to EUDR all center on sustainability—no longer a trend but a must-have for the industry. Eco Packaging and Sustainable Material are core to this shift, with Bamboo Paper and Recycled Kraft Paper leading the charge.This year, we launched 20 new items with Sustainable Material and eco-friendly structures. Below are the TOP 3 Eco Packaging picks, each embodying sustainability.
TOP1 – Shopper with Bamboo paper
Amid planet protection efforts, the industry seeks wood alternatives, and Bamboo Paper emerges as a standout Sustainable Material for Eco Packaging. We introduced Bamboo Paper before, but its rapid renewability and eco-advantages make it worth highlighting again for sustainability-focused brands.
Bamboo Paper outperforms wood pulp paper in key sustainable metrics, solidifying its place as a top Eco Packaging choice:

Feature | Kraft Paper (Wood Pulp) | Bamboo Paper |
Origin | Softwood trees (Pine, Spruce, Fir). "Kraft" is German for strength. | Bamboo grass (technically a grass, not a tree). |
Regrowth Rate | Slow: Trees take 15–30+ years to mature for harvest. | Fast: 3–5 year harvest cycle, regrows naturally—ideal for sustainability |
The "Eco" Claim | Recycling Champion: It has the most established recycling | "Tree-Free": carbon absorption 4x faster—core Eco |
2025 Context | Scrutinized under new EU/US deforestation laws (requires strict chain of custody). | Often exempt from "timber" regulations, making it a compliance loophole for some brands. |
Choose Bamboo Paper for Eco Packaging if you prioritize sustainability, food safety, or premium aesthetics—its versatility makes it a top Sustainable Material.
TOP2 – Shopper with 100% recycled kraft paper
Alongside Bamboo Paper, Recycled Kraft Paper is a cost-effective Sustainable Material driving Eco Packaging growth. As a 100% recycled option, it cuts CO2 footprints, balancing budget and sustainability—a top RFQ pick in 2025.
While sharing sustainable goals with Bamboo Paper, Recycled Kraft Paper has unique traits for specific Eco Packaging needs:
Feature | Bamboo Paper | 100% Recycled Kraft Paper |
Printability | High. Smoother surface holds ink well with less bleeding. Colors appear sharper and more vibrant. | Low to Medium. Porous and rough. Ink tends to absorb (bleed), making colors duller. Best for bold, simple, dark logos. |
Food Safety | Excellent. Bamboo Paper is generally safe for direct food contact. | Caution Required. Not suitable for direct food contact without a barrier coating, as recycled fibers may contain traces of mineral oils or inks. |
Moisture Resistance | Moderate. Naturally better wet-strength than recycled paper, but still requires coating for prolonged liquid contact. | Low. Loses structural integrity quickly when wet. It becomes "soggy" easily unless chemically treated. |
Durability | High. The long fibers make it stiff and resistant to tearing. | Medium. Shorter fibers mean it tears more easily and has less "burst strength" for heavy loads. |
Aesthetics | "Eco-Luxury." Often lighter in color (warm off-white to light brown), smooth to the touch. Looks modern and premium. | "Rustic / Industrial." Darker brown, speckled texture, rough feel. Looks authentically "recycled" and organic. |
Choose Recycled Kraft Paper for economical, general-purpose Eco Packaging—it’s a reliable Sustainable Material for brands emphasizing rustic sustainability.
TOP3 – Chocolate box with card paper
In addition to Sustainable Material such as Bamboo Paper and Recycled Kraft Paper, our sustainable philosophy is also reflected in the chocolate card box—another flagship Eco Packaging that embodies our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Since promotion in 2024, many clients are interested in clarifoil. So once again, we applied clari it as window to replace PVC sheet.
Today we’d like to make a more detailed introduction.Clarifoil outshines PVC as a Sustainable Material for sustainability-focused brands:
Feature | Clarifoil (Cellulose Acetate) | PVC Sheet |
Source | Renewable (Wood Pulp) | Synthetic (Fossil Fuel) |
End of Life | Compostable / Biodegradable | Landfill / Difficult to Recycle |
Moisture | Permeable (Breathable/Anti-fog) | Barrier (Traps moisture) |
Clarity | High Gloss / Sparkle | Good, but can yellow/haze |
Durability | Low tear strength (brittle) | High tear strength (tough) |
Stiffness | High stiffness | Flexible / Stretchy |
Despite some disadvantages of Clarifoil, we still strongly encourage you to explore this material for some special collections if:
· Cost is not the main driver.
· Sustainability is required.
· Water barrier is not needed.
