| 1 | Food and beverage delivery and serving materials are critical for safety, requiring options that do not interact with their contents. While metal and glass have traditionally been used, the popularity of plastic has risen due to its lighter weight and cost-effectiveness. However, concerns over plastic waste and recycling have prompted societal caution about its environmental impact. In response, the Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has enacted legislation to hold producers accountable for their environmental responsibilities. Paper-based materials for food and beverage delivery are becoming more popular. A committee is developing standards for paper and paperboard-based barrier-coated materials to ensure their quality and safety for human consumption. These standards will apply to various shapes, such as wraps, bags, cartons, and containers, intended for serving or delivery, not storage. | |
