Nobody questions nowadays that the world’s population is under far more stress than it was even fifty years ago.  Not only are people inundated by media, job pressures and busier lifestyles – they are also more aware of the earth’s ecological predicaments.  It’s no wonder food and beverage packaging is seeing a total revolution.

There is so much more to globalization than just increased trade and financial flows.  Connectivity between humans is growing exponentially through the internet and online communities, not to mention through international news.  So is the spread of new ethnic and health foods, along with the advent of better dry food packaging solutions.  People are sharing in every way possible.  They see each other’s faces online via video conferencing, and they eat dinners that come from all the way around the world.  It’s simply amazing.

With this increased awareness comes the responsibility to support solutions that honor the earth’s ecological systems.  Food pouch suppliers recognize their opportunity to provide low-cost, low-waste options for sending excellent edible products around the world.  They are heeding consumers’ call to observe an ethic of environmentalism.  The best thing about this change is that the new packages offer so much in the way of versatility, clever design and reliability.
