Lactips and SmartSolve Announce Global Partnership for Plastic-Free Packaging
French Lactips and US-based SmartSolve have formed a global strategic partnership to develop plastic-free packaging solutions. The collaboration combines French expertise in bio-based polymers with American technology in water-soluble films.
French bio-polymer manufacturer Lactips and US company SmartSolve have announced a global strategic partnership aimed at developing and marketing plastic-free packaging solutions. The companies, with operations in Paris and the US respectively, are seeking to address the growing demand for sustainable packaging materials.
