In two Good Garbage conversations, Ved Krishna looks at the challenges of creating more sustainable packaging.
Allison Scales of Atlantic Packaging explains why multilayer flexible packs are difficult to recycle and what it takes to run paper and seaweed alternatives on a press.
Dr. Alka Rao of CSIR-IMTECH explains why microbes cannot yet break down mixed plastic packaging, while exploring their potential to create materials such as microbial cellulose and lab-grown leather.
Together, the conversations examine what it will take to bring sustainable material alternatives from the press and lab to industry.
