non-returnable or disposable packaging


Explanation:
a packaging that is not reused and recycled, thus harmful to the environment

Example sentence(s):
  • Just as the use of raw wood packaging without the correct certification has been outlawed in many countries, so disposable or non-returnable packaging is likely to become increasingly unpopular as it drains natural resources and its disposal is often harm

non-redeemable packaging


Explanation:
Ako u kontekstu (u originalnom tekstu) postoje indikacije da se radi o ambalaži za koju se ne predvidja vracanje da bi cena artikla bila niža, onda nije na odmetu korisiti `non-redeemable packaging`. Svakako, ako takvih indikacija nema, onda je pravilnije koristiti `non-returnable packaging`
