Is moving away from plastic always the right move, even if it leads to more food waste?Welcome to The State of Sustainable Packaging for August 2023! In today's show, we will cover:(Hopefully) Thought Provoking Question Of The DaySustainability Score for August 2023: Overall, are brands “checking the box” or are they fully committed? Headlines and EducationMy Take On Question Of The DayOur goal is to help you better understand the world of sustainable packaging, so you can make the best possible decisions for your brand.Today's question of the day is quite complicated and to answer it properly would be a case-by-case decision after investigating the specifics of the situation.
