War On Plastic: The Next Generation of Sustainable Packaging Solutions

In little more than a century, plastic has gone from being a hero packaging material to one of the world’s greatest environmental problems.

According to the EPA, approximately 70% of plastics in the US are destined to landfill, where they will take from 10 to 1000 years to decompose. By 2050, its projected there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

Food and beverage packaging accounts for almost two-thirds of total packaging waste. As consumers become more educated on the impact plastics have on the environment, they’re keen to hold businesses and their packaging standards to account. Companies are now more focused than ever on producing and packaging their products more responsibly.

In this webinar, we will analyze the state of the sustainable packaging trend today from underlying scientific research to player strategies in the biodegradable space and how close we are to solving the war on plastic. Based on FutureBridge’s extensive coverage of the food and beverage market, we present the disruptive biodegradable technological solutions that you should know about such as New York-based Ecovative Design who creates moldable biomaterials from agricultural waste to Tel Aviv University researchers who produce bioplastic polymers using marine organisms.
