Multi-national Corporations Reaping Profits Using Biodegradable Retail Packaging.

When an international panel of judges from the 6th European Bioplastics Conference selected Danone from a shortlist of five nominees, citing the company's  "significant contribution to moving bioplastics from a niche packaging product to a mass market product, I got the understanding, at least we are making progress in protecting the planet.

Danone, a leading producer of products such as medical nutrition and baby food and the global number one manufacturer of dairy products, this year became the first major corporation to package two of their biggest brands in bio-based materials.

Today, Danone's Actimel yoghurt drink is packaged around the world in bio-HDPE , while in Germany, its Activia yoghurt cups are no longer made of PS, but from Biodegradable (PLA) Ice Cream & Yogurt Containers

According to Danone, the new PLA packaging not only has the advantage of being produced from renewable resources, but less raw materials are needed for its production, and less end-of-life waste is produced.Using  Biodegradable (PLA) Ice Cream & Yogurt Containers has led to a 43% reduction in fossil resources that are used for production. Moreover, CO2 emissions were cut by 25% according  to Danone management personnel.

Danone was 'delighted' to receive the award. Marianne Schweiger, who accepted the award on behalf of Danone, said it was "a reward for the long, often laborious years of research and work which had gone into the development of the new packaging."
