Plastic packaging will move towards lightweight, reducing packaging weight. Lightweight refers to using less information to produce packaging and reduce weight, which is profitable for the environment and enterprises. Generally, in the plastic packaging industry, containers such as plastic pallets, bottles, cans, hoses, and caps are simpler to achieve weight reduction.
In order to reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of disposable plastics, DOE of the United States Department of Energy recently announced that it will provide US $13.4 million for the next generation of plastic technology.
