INNOVATING PACKAGING
 Sugarcane used as an alternative of crude oil. For e.g.: tetra pack
which follows relies on sugar cane in the production of bio-based
packaging.
 Plastic replaces by milk by a woman: Peggy Tomasula who works in
the field of emerging technologies in dairy processing and
succeeded in producing packaging film which is made from milk that
is edible, biodegradable and much more effective than oil based
film. Milk based packing blocks oxygen 500 times better than
conventional oil based films and also helps to prevent food spoilage.
 First compostable bottle made of plants which is lauched by an
Austrian company “ NAKU- made of natural plastic” made of
bioplastics (PLA). Material is used in this process is lactic acid,
which is obtained from the vegetable raw materials and starch. This
material is 20 times lighter than glass and also 10 times cheaper
than plastic and biodegradable.
Conclusion: Companies now a days have started showing their
creativity towards the field of packaging which would not only
differentiate their products from the rest but also helps in protecting
the environment.
