PKN talks... A promising alternative to plastic packaging, with Jackson Sobb, CEO, and Colin Farrell, director-business development, from COPAR.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News, talks with Jackson and Colin about developments in fibre and biopolymer packaging solutions.

We discuss how COPAR is developing and testing wheat straw and biopolymer packaging solutions as alternatives to plastic based packaging.

Throughout the discussion we review the reduced environmental impact of these packaging materials, and get an insight into COPAR’s collaborative relationships with farmers, universities and food businesses to create, research and distribute their sustainable packaging products.
