Hi there,

It's here! Our Packaging Unwrapped report, exploring the tech companies bringing sustainable food and drink packaging to the mainstream.

From seaweed to edible sprays, material sciences to customer delivery, we meet the startups scouring the fields and oceans for sustainable plastic alternatives.

But with plastic being a miracle material, will consumers be convinced by replacements? And are they financially sound? We cover the ongoing challenges in producing plastic-free alternatives at scale and just how far consumers are willing to go to support sustainable change. 

Here's a sneak peek of what's inside:

• The story of the sustainable food and beverage packaging revolution: Learn why progress has been so slow
• A market map of Europe’s sustainable packaging companies: Meet the key innovators transforming everything from material sciences to customer delivery
• The biggest trends impacting the industry’s growth: The latest supportive movements from public perception, policies and schemes 
• A glimpse into the food shelves of the future: These sustainable packaging materials are making the leap from the lab to the grocery stores
• Market predictions: Experts weigh in on the future of Europe’s sustainable packaging industry

“We’re using resources that we don’t have to produce packaging that we don’t need that end up in waste-management systems that can’t handle it.”

Sharon Chan, cofounder of Sourceful
