ISCF SSPP Business Led R&D Collaboration Building Workshop – Considerations for end-of-life compostable packaging
This workshop enabled collaborations to be built in this specific topic area through presentations and breakout out rooms for the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Challenge.
This competition provides a great opportunity for organisations to work collaboratively together to look at new products and technologies in compostable consumer packaging. However, any solutions must consider what will happen at the end of life of the packaging.
