The Plastic-Free Paradox

The Plastic-Free Paradox

Prism eLogistics suggests that avoiding all plastic may not always be the most sustainable choice for packaging.

The push for plastic-free packaging is a common goal for many food and drink brands, but it may not always lead to the best environmental outcomes. Prism eLogistics is urging manufacturers to rethink their approach to sustainability.

According to a report by FDI Forum, the company believes that the role of recycled and recyclable plastics should be carefully considered. The goal is to ensure that packaging choices actually reduce environmental impact rather than simply removing plastic from the equation.
