AS the product innovation progresses in the Philippines, so is the generation of plastic waste in packaging and manufacturing sectors. This heightened the need for sustainable packaging solutions, a demand that continues to be unmet due to lack of standard criteria for sustainable packaging materials.
Recognizing this challenge, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST), through the Industrial Technology and Development Institute (ITDI) is driving innovative approaches to eco-friendly packaging that reduces environmental impact and promotes resource efficiency.
