BPF Defends Plastic Packaging
The British Plastics Federation (BPF) has stepped up to defend plastic packaging and to counter some of misconceptions and prejudices against it.
 BPF Director General Peter Davis appeared on You and Yours on BBC Radio 4, he said: “Plastics packaging is essential in the logistics of feeding 60m people three meals a day. It reduces food wastage into landfill by protecting the produce and increasing its shelf life.”
Philip Law, BPF’s Industrial and Public Affairs Director appeared on the BBC Radio Five Live Drive time show, he said: “Plastic packaging plays an important role in avoiding wastage by reducing damage to produce and products in the supply chain.”
 The BPF is holding a series of seminars for the UK’s five major retailers in conjunction with PAFA and PlasticsEurope. The seminars will tackle some of the common misconceptions about plastic packaging and provide accurate information and data.
In addition, on Wednesday 13 June, the BPF hosted a seminar, Plastics Packaging: Key Trends for the Future in the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Rotherham.
Presentations from PlasticsEurope, Farapack Polymers and WRAP covered topics such as design, smart polymers and insights into the global packaging industry.
