With hardly any exception, current packaging closures are made of plastics or metals, whether they sit on a plastic, carton, glass or metal bottle, jar or other container. And no matter if the packaged goods are liquids, dry products, foods or non-foods. However, these closures come with some challenges and problems, such as littering in nature. Blue Ocean Closures set out on a journey together with some of the world’s biggest brands, to bring an alternative closure to market that is biobased, bio-degradable and recyclable as paper. The first solutions are already on consumer shelves, replacing plastics by the tonnes. Blue Ocean Closures and a pioneering customer will share some insights and opportunities ahead.
