Ogilvy Colombia, in collaboration with Nestlé, has developed a prototype for biodegradable packaging called Self-Packing Cheese, made from recycled whey and cheese waste. By utilizing microorganisms in a lab to produce PHA, the design teams mix it with organic byproducts to create pellets, which are then processed into a biodegradable film. This innovative packaging can decompose in 300 days, significantly reducing plastic waste compared to conventional plastics which take around 900 years. The initiative promotes circular packaging and opens avenues for broader applications in sustainable product packaging.
Ogilvy Colombia has developed a prototype biodegradable packaging made from whey and cheese waste that decomposes in just 300 days, reducing reliance on traditional plastics.
The Self-Packing Cheese project showcases how reusing cheese production byproducts to create bioplastic offers a sustainable alternative, potentially revolutionizing packaging in the food industry.
