New Zealand’s iconic fruit shipped globally provides four valuable lessons on how to optimize produce packaging and reduce food waste.

The company’s first manufacturing plant in the United States will be the size of 260 football fields and carbon neutral, thanks to an on-site solar plant matching the facility’s total energy consumption.

Let’s see if the numbers add up to prove that paper packaging is the best sustainable choice for food products.

The sustainable tire incorporates recycled plastic bottles, recycled steel, and natural rubber from a US desert shrub.

The value of the $98.6 billion sustainability driven returnable packaging market that relies on plastic packaging will grow 6.2% yearly through the end of the decade.

Biotrend Energy in Turkey will use Honeywell UOP Upcycle Technology to transform up to 60,000 metric tons yearly of mixed waste plastics into advanced recycled polymer feedstock.

Continued misunderstanding around sustainable packaging issues in both business and government continues to produce underwhelming results.

Graphene-enhanced polyethylene masterbatch offers higher strength using thinner films to reduce costs, increase sustainability, and boost flexible packaging properties.

One of the objectives set out in the new report, “Bold Goals for U.S. Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing,” is to displace more than 90% of fossil fuel–based plastics within 20 years.

A dramatic increase in recycling and the use of carbon capture and alternative feedstocks in plastics production could result in “absolute sustainability,” according to a group of researchers from Switzerland, Germany, and the United States.
