With more and more consumers shopping online and receiving packages in the mail, brands must work to convey messaging they once may have tried to accomplish through retail displays.
Eatable Adventures and the Italia del Gusto food consortium unveil a new challenge, focusing on startups with innovative food packaging solutions aimed at minimizing plastic usage, extending shelf life, and optimizing processes.
At full capacity, the facility will recycle nearly 90 million pounds of plastic waste per year, enough to encircle the globe in pallet wrap more than 135 times. It is expected to employ nearly 200 people.
The move is one of few leadership changes in the company's 121-year history, including when the Schottland family purchased APC from the Kardon family in 1986.
Lecta also is working to develop other metallized papers aimed at the flexible packaging segment, providing functionalities such as oxygen barrier or high grease resistance without the use of fluorinated elements.
