09 Mar 2020 --- Cutting carbon was the key theme of Packaging Innovations 2020 in Birmingham, UK. Nobody will deny that the scourge of packaging pollution remains an urgent global issue, but increased attention to climate change has led the packaging industry to also reevaluate its role in bringing greenhouse gases back down to manageable levels. This ambition manifested itself in a wealth of plastic and plastic-free innovation at the show, with suppliers keen to demonstrate how their solutions could reduce carbon footprint without compensating for pack shelf-appeal, convenience or functionality.
