New materials to replace plastics
We want our food to get to us in the safest possible way, protected from contaminents and leaching of chemicals while meeting regulations and our expectations of receiving fresh food untouched by others. Put that together with the need to keep the product as fresh as possible for as long as possible and its hard to think of deliverying it in anything but a protective package.
Until now, the materials used have typically been petrochemical based plastics and while dealing with the latter of the requirements described above, it does not deal with the former or indeed the end of life problem (waste).
The downloadable file below and this link to Natureworks Ingeo provide an insight to the new material now available to replace many of the plastics currently used. It is worth the read and has many interesting statistics that will lead you to demanding the use of these new products. Here are some other links to locally sourced environmentally friendly products and information.
