Update: 2020-02-13
Description
The impact of plastic on the environment has become a global concern in the past few years, and the food and drink industry is experiencing understandable pressure to ditch plastic and move to newer sustainable packaging. However, it's not an easy transition, with plastic acting as a great way to keep food fresher for longer.
In today's podcast we're joined by Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder, A Plastic Planet, to discuss the scale of the problem the industry faces, and find ways that companies small and large can make an impact as we look towards a plastic-free future.
