Cheers to food packaging and all of you who work to keep our food supply safe, accessible, and healthy.
It's almost the start of a new year and the next half-century. It is a time of reflection. I reflected on my favorite topic-food packaging! Here are the top 3 innovations in design and material science in the past 50 years.
Design
PET bottle
Aseptic cartons
Woven PP 500+ pound bags
Packaging Material Science
Paperboard coatings

Moving into 2025, PTR will be supporting Package Stewardship Certification to determine first if packaging contains chemicals of concern, then build brand confidence in packaging, and ensure customer safety by working with suppliers to eliminate chemicals of concern. This is a serious and comprehensive 4-Phase process. Please find more information here>
