While Graham's Dairy continues to introduce sustainable carton solutions, Lumene has incorporated the ‘Cristal One E Renew' bottle from Eastman, providing the appearance of glass using a rigid, thick-wall construction that is not typically achievable with conventional recycled resins. The bottle is endorsed by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform as Resin Identification Code 1.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Panther Denim has unveiled a new innovative dye solution for colored denim, allowing manufacturers to distress and custom-wash any denim product.
