Plenary Talk 7/2
Thursday, July 2, 2020 - 1:05pm to 1:30pm
As consumers and brands look for more sustainable packaging options, interest in the use of plant-based materials continues to grow. Using packaging materials made from renewable resources, rather than traditional petroleum-based materials, can lead to numerous environmental benefits, from reduced greenhouse gas emissions to improvements in soil health. These often nascent products are not without their challenges though -- lack of awareness, questions about performance, cost, and availability of end-of-life infrastructure to name a few. Tune in to this plenary talk to hear about the potential benefits of plant-based packaging, along with challenges to be tackled in order to realize the full circular potential of these materials.
