A monomaterial is a product made from just one type of material. Products can be made of paper, plastic, glass, fabric, metal or other materials. Eco-friendly single-material packaging. Because they are made from just one material, mono-materials are generally easier to recycle than products made from different materials. Another advantage is that they generally consume less energy to be recycled, as there is no need to take into account a “preliminary step” of separation or division of the different materials. The overall recycling process is therefore faster, more efficient, less energy-intensive and more cost-effective.
