Sustainable Packaging

Plastic packaging is rarely just polymer. Tiny amounts of purposeful chemistry, additives, control everything from how long a film lasts on the shelf to whether a package can be recycled or composted. In the last decade, additive science has shifted from pure performance toward performance that supports circularity, longer shelf life, lighter weight, and safer recycling. This blog explains the major classes of modern additives, shows how they help sustainable packaging, and highlights tradeoffs and real-world constraints.
