Abstract

Green packing practices in logistics have become an essential strategy for promoting environmental sustainability in supply chain management. With increasing concerns about climate change, plastic pollution, and resource depletion, logistics companies are adopting eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce environmental impact. Green packaging focuses on biodegradable materials, recyclable inputs, lightweight design, reusable systems, and energy-efficient production processes. This study examines the concept, importance, benefits, and challenges of green packing practices in logistics. The research adopts a descriptive methodology using primary and secondary data. The findings indicate that green packaging significantly reduces carbon emissions, enhances brand image, improves operational efficiency, and supports sustainable supply chain performance, although challenges such as cost and infrastructure limitations remain.
