sustainable packaging?

The West Midlands Regional Food Academy based at Harper Adams University College in Shropshire welcomed delegates last week keen to hear about why bio-plastics are the future in sustainable packaging.

Dr John Williams, polymers and materials manager at the National Non-Food Crop Centre said big companies and supermarkets had a false start when at came to using bio-based packaging products, but it was now picking up. He added: “I think we have to re-educate consumers as to how plastics are useful and then we can start to explain the difference between plastics.”
