Packaging for Digital - UBE and Michigan State University Conduct Study

UBE America, a subsidiary of Japan's UBE in the United States, announced a partnership with the Michigan State University School of Packaging on the project "E-commerce Food Packaging Market Study." The proposal is to assess the needs of the food and beverage supply chain and develop packaging solutions that meet the specifics of online retail. The first phase of the study includes a research developed for companies involved in the production/distribution of packaging for e-commerce. The results, which include flexible mono and multi material packaging, will be key to leading to the second phase. The results are expected to be announced in the first half of 2020.
