This is my personal account of the world of packaging. ThePackHub continues to provide lots of news and views and a new LinkedIn weekly newsletter (make sure you're one of the 12K followers).

Packaging Innovation Watch

I focus on a particular LinkedIn post each week that gets the packaging network liking, sharing, and commenting.

This Snack a Jack multipack from PepsiCo caught my eye at a local Tesco Express store and I couldn't resist taking a ?? .

ThePackHub's Innovation Zone first reported on this change in June this year and it's good to see it now in market.

Gone is the plastic wrap (86% less plastic was introduced not so long ago) and has been replaced by a tape-like strip that holds the five packs together.What do you think?

We've had a lot of reaction so far. You can comment on the post here.

Field Visit Fun!

I had a fascinating morning with Pierre-Yves Paslier and his Notpla team at their east London facilities. We were given the full lowdown on their seaweed packaging. How it's made, development challenges and existing and potential opportunities. The company is continuously working on expanding its range of products and improving the properties of its materials. ??

Thank you to Olga Kachook of Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) for making the trip happen. An inspirational warm up for their Engage event.

Until next time. Happy innovating.
