Eco-Friendly Packaging the Future of Global Trade

In an age where sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity, industries across the globe are re-evaluating their packaging strategies. Among them, corrugated boxes have emerged as the leading solution for eco-friendly packaging. But why is there a global shift towards green packaging, and how can businesses benefit by making the switch?
