The carbon reality of sustainable alternatives in the packaging industry

It is evident that there is no single solution to decarbonising the packaging industry. But within the suite of options, which ones
are truly sustainable? In this session we explore the life cycles of the different alternatives in market as we evaluate the
production, consumption, and disposal of paper, bagasse, recycled & bio plastics, and starch products.

Talk about this session

Erica Bhasin is a chemical engineer and has been working in the sustainability industry for 6 years.
Together with her brother, she co-founded Sustainoware in response to the need for easily
disposable yet high-functioning packaging. They recognized that most sustainable packaging options
necessitate complex end-of-life management and often lose structural integrity within minutes when
exposed to hot foods or liquids. To address this issue, they developed an innovative, robust,
home-compostable, and versatile packaging solution initially for the F&B industry, and later for the
short-term packaging market.
Erica is a vocal advocate for decarbonisation of industry and a proud supporter of women in STEM
