Wednesday night we held a roundtable discussion with film resin suppliers, manufacturers and retailers. There were around 15 participants that included Whole Foods Market, GU, Powergel, Cargill and Archer Daniels.
Thursday started with presentations by Alex Bogusky, Hunter Lovins, Whole Foods Market, and
Clear Green Advisors for Walmart. After lunch we began our panel discussion that focused on two major components to a successfully crafted sustainable squeeze pack.
- Does the film come from a renewable resource?
- Can the film structure break down (compost)?
After healthy discussion we decided as a group that a small start somewhere is better than nothing at all.
So we put our stake into the ground to achieve at least 30% of our squeeze pack film packaging to come from renewable resources by Earth Day 2011.
The summit has been called the beginning of a journey that will take several steps to achieve our ultimate goal: 100% renewable film that is 100% compostable.
Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteHey Justin,
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear where this goes. I import and sell matcha green tea from Japan at matchasource.com and am considering individual serving sizes, but the packaging concerns me. As do the labels and the shipping materials. Thanks for leading the way. How can I help/get involved?
