of resins that will impart the characteristics it is looking for to make new types of films. The company is continually experimenting with different resins to meet the film and plastic packaging needs of their customers. The 2020 Power of Meat report stressed that for meat and poultry products " claims such as organic and sustainably-raised have been areas of robust growth for years. " Another way to cater to the conscious-minded consumer is to limit single-use plastic packaging and to " implement environmentally-friendly packaging and shipping materials for meat/poultry and minimize their carbon footprint. " CNG's GreenArrow platform is focused on sustainable films and products. GreenArrow is focused on the reduce, reuse and recycle framework of sustainability. For now, CNG is not offering a GreenArrow film specifically for bone in products but the company has several film developments underway that will be applicable to the bone-in packaging, Hopp said. The company is downgauging bio-based or compostable resins to reduce the amount of waste or non-recyclable material used in their packaging. " For reuse, we're able to include PCR - post consumer recycled content, " Hopp said. " For recyclables, we're creating films that are all polyethylene-based. So they're recycle-ready and have labels that tell customers about how to recycle them. " It always comes back to the formability and the barrier for these types of packages. Consumers want to see a bone-in meat or poultry product before they buy it, but that will not puncture. Consumers want to bring their protein home without it leaking onto their other groceries and then store the meat in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. " It's very important that customers don't see a cloudy looking film on the outside of the meat.
