4 key questions about 2 sustainable packaging paths

摘要

At the Sustainability in Packaging event sponsored by Smithers Pira in March 2014, several conference sessions ended with a debate about preferable end of life treatment-such as the recovery of flexible packaging, the issue of marine debris and more. Recycling had taken a back seat to increasing trends in new biobased polymer technologies and food waste; however, the debates demonstrate that the end-of-life management issues raised by both trends have been "recycled" (pardon the pun).
