People of Packaging · 25 Jun 2025 · 29m

What this episode covers

Hosts discuss a Fizz.org review on microplastics and nanoplastics in packaging, noting that eliminating plastic entirely is currently impossible due to necessary polymer coatings on paper and glass alternatives. They highlight the societal benefits of plastic, such as reduced food waste and improved global nutrition, while debating the feasibility of alternatives like glass, aluminum, and novel materials like molded coconut husk. The conversation concludes with a look at on-demand, right-sized box printing technology that reduces void space and allows for digital branding on shipping containers.
