5 trends in the future of packaging
The concept of 'packaging' has been the cross and delight of all industrial development: on the one hand it has guaranteed better, faster and more widespread distribution and preservation of food, on the other it has contributed to forming a generation (more than one for truth) “disposable” accustomed to not reusing anything and using things quickly and hastily.
