• REDUCING FOOD WASTE AND INNOVATIONS: Plastics enable innovative food preservation techniques like modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), reducing food waste and driving packaging advancements.

• VITALITY OF PLASTICS IN THE INDUSTRY: Plastics’ versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness make them indispensable in food and beverage operations, providing convenience and hygiene to consumers.

Plastics continue to play a vital role in the Food & Beverage industry, upholding food safety standards, promoting sustainability, and driving innovations in packaging and preservation.
