Drivers of
Change
Our age is defined by the large scale impacts of human actions which have come to define the very nature of life on earth. To counter this, a new global awakening is in the process, creating more conscious consumers and pushing the frontiers of packaging materials.
International agencies and nations have come to the consensus that it is imperative to minimise human impacts on the planet to address the urgency of climate change. Our future depends on immediate action.
The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 1 – 12 November 2021.
From fungi to coconut husk, no frontier is being left unexplored when it comes to sustainable packaging materials. Plastic is passé. The buck doesn’t stop at the packaging. We are exploring solutions that will change the way we live as a species. A future where we wear clothes made from carbon dioxide and order a beef burger made from plant protein from a fast-food chain is not too far away.
