A Look at Jordan's Organic Cereal Packaging

"New bio-based plastic packaging for UK-based Jordans Organic Cereals is a major packaging achievement. The packaging was recognized last month at the 20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation and is featured in a piece by Steve Sterling in this month's Packaging World.
