New £2m sustainable food packaging hub set for AMRC Cymru in Broughton

A new sustainable food packaging hub is being established at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre Cymru (AMRC Cymru) in Broughton thanks to a £2m financial investment from the Welsh Government.

The sustainability centre will become a hub for the uptake of emerging technologies and materials in the food and drink packaging supply chain.

It will aim to lead to the adoption of waste-reducing eco-innovations in the sector that increase productivity and lower Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Lesley Griffiths, Minister for Environment, Energy & Rural Affairs, said: “Our ambition is to raise Wales’ international profile and proactively market our innovation in quality food and drink to the world.
