If you missed today's webinar, "Packaging Sustainability: Definitions, trends and innovations," the recording is available here.
We were joined by Katherine O'Dea, Senior Fellow and Director, Advisory Services, GreenBlue. She discussed the variety of definitions involved in sustainable packaging challenges from around the world, followed by an expert analysis of trends in the area, with a particular focus on the US context. Finally, she offered some innovative and exciting developments in sustainable packing.
The slides can be accessed separately from the recording in the Sustainable Supply Chain working group.
