PACKAGING INNOVATION
collateral good® Packaging Innovation Fund I
why packaging?
360
million metric tonnes annually
1/5
world's oil
Global plastic production exceeds 360 million metric tonnes annually, forming a $917 billion industry. Without intervention, this figure is projected to triple by 2050, consuming one-fifth of the world’s oil. Simultaneously, the environmental impact of non-circular packaging systems is undeniable, significantly contributing to pollution, resource depletion, and global waste. Food waste, often linked to inefficient packaging solutions, compounds this issue by wasting critical resources like water, energy, and land at an unsustainable scale.
