Green plastic is usually made from corn, sugar beet, and sugar corn. This is what makes plastic green. The problem with packaging that there are so many things in it witch are not needed. A lot of this is waste. At the same time this is mostly recycled or made out of recycled material witch is good. Paper i thick is the most easy to recycle. Metal is hard but could be recycled. to improve packaging i wouldn't put so many materials in the package, if its really necessary i would make the materials out of recycled material.
