Plastic in packaging is a widely discussed topic, and one frequent participant in these discussions is Katrin Molina-Besch, researcher in Packaging Logistics at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University.

Katrin Molina-Besch shares her knowledge of the field of plastics and packaging in the “2021 Plastic Report” from Orkla. Some of the issues discussed are:

What are the pros and cons of plastic as a packaging material? Why are some types of plastic recyclable and others not? What’s best, fossil-free or recycled plastic? How can we achieve a better recycling system?
