Knowde brings cutting-edge online buying experience to plastic packaging materials
“From protecting the food that we eat to creating tamper-proof safeguards for medical and pharmaceutical applications, plastic packaging materials play a vital role in the production of the bottles, bags, shrink wrap, stretch film, blister packs and clamshells that consumers use every day. Plastic packaging is often considered to be the most recyclable, sustainable alternative among packaging material options.”
