This month’s Climate Connections webinar will focus on addressing key concerns and challenges identified by end users and industry experts inhibiting the adoption of sustainable packaging.
From how a product looks, functions, and biodegrades, to its cost competitiveness and how to ensure that carbon benefits aren’t lost through international transportation of products (for example: pears grown in Argentina, packed in Thailand and then sold in the United States). We have seen monumental change in packaging materials and opportunities, now let's look at the final challenges that will unlock their mass use.
