Today’s sustainable packaging landscape is buzzing with innovative new materials 💡
Bioplastics derived from renewable sources such as seaweed and sugar cane will be pivotal in the move away from fossil fuel-based conventional plastics.
The Food & Retail sector is starting to embrace materials that pave the way for a sustainable future without compromising on functionality.
