All that single-use plastic and Styrofoam, especially for cold packaging, is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and consequently climate change.
Now, companies like TemperPack, Green Cell and a California-based startup called Cruz Foam are making more recyclable and biodegradable packaging.
Cruz Foam is using shrimp shells in its packaging.
And Cruz Foam doesn't make the packages, rather it provides packagers with the material.
Cruz Foam has several products, from cold packaging for foods to protective wrap to substitute for bubble wrap.
