Why would customers want to switch to food packaging and service ware made from NatureWorks® PLA?
Today’s consumers have embraced nature-based packaging in efforts to bring fresh, wholesome and convenient meal solutions with “Natural-in-Natural” appeal home to their families. This packaging includes clear, rigid thermoformed containers and packaging film and bottles. In research conducted with more than 3,500 consumers in the United States , Europe and Japan , a majority of those surveyed ranked the concept of purchasing fresh food in nature-based packaging as “very desirable.” Foodservice operators are also winning over consumers by offering a more responsible choice in service ware and packaged grab-and-go foods and beverages. Grocery retailers are offering customers fresh food items such as fruits, vegetables, and deli and bakery products in corn-based packaging. These food containers, plates, bowls, cups, bottles and cutlery made from NatureWorks® PLA offer disposable convenience with the assurance that the materials are made from safe, natural and annually renewable resources.
